Subject: [PATCH 4/4] elf: save allocation per exec

2 ELF header aren't that large to allocate them on heap.

However, code is bloated by 1.5 KB (!!!) with gcc 8.2 and stack size
grows by ~340 bytes.

The problem is that 2 elf headers are only 128 bytes.

I'm shocked and the patch should not be applied probably.
