elf: Unconditionally use __ehdr_start
We can consider __ehdr_start (from binutils 2.23 onwards) unconditionally supported, since configure.ac requires binutils>=2.25. The configure.ac check is related to an ia64 bug fixed by binutils 2.24. See https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2014-August/053503.html Tested on x86_64-linux-gnu. Tested build-many-glibcs.py with aarch64-linux-gnu and s390x-linux-gnu. Reviewed-by: Szabolcs Nagy <szabolcs.nagy@arm.com>
