/*
 * out.c — emit a static ELF64 executable.
 *
 * Layout (file order) without .data:
 *   [0..64)       ELF header
 *   [64..120)     one program header (PT_LOAD R+X)
 *   [120..0x1000) zero pad
 *   [0x1000..)    .text bytes
 *
 * With .data (any input .o has writable globals):
 *   [0..64)        ELF header
 *   [64..176)      two program headers (PT_LOAD R+X, PT_LOAD R+W)
 *   [176..0x1000)  zero pad
 *   [0x1000..)     .text bytes
 *   [data_off..)   .data bytes (file offset and vaddr page-aligned)
 *
 * No interpreter, no dynamic, no .bss yet. Entry point is the address
 * of the symbol named "_start" (or whatever main supplies via -e).
