Subject: [PATCH v2 08/10] binfmt_flat: update libraries' data segment pointer with userspace accessors

This is needed on systems with a MMU.  This also gets rid of the
strangest C code I've seen lateli i.e. an integer indexed with a
pointer value within square brackets. That really looked backwards.
