-/* Return the unrelocated code address at which execution begins for
-   ABFD, under the 64-bit PowerPC Linux ABI.  On that system, the ELF
-   header e_entry field (which is what bfd_get_start_address gives
-   you) is the address of the function descriptor for the startup
-   function, not the address of the actual machine instruction you
-   jump to.
-
-   This function doesn't just go and read the entry point from the
-   function descriptor.  We need it to work when ABFD is the dynamic
-   linker, immediately after an exec.  But ld.so is a dynamic
-   executable itself on PPC64 Linux, so it appears in memory whereever
-   the kernel drops it; this means that bfd_get_start_address's result
-   needs to be adjusted --- by some offset we don't know.  So we can't
-   find the descriptor's address in memory to read the entry point
-   from it.
-
-   Instead, we do it all based on ABFD's symbol table.  We take the
-   address from bfd_get_start_address, find each symbol at that
-   address, stick a '.' on the front of its name to get the entry
-   point symbol name, try to look that up, and return the value of
-   what we find, if anything.  We never touch memory, or talk with the
-   kernel about the inferior at all.
-
-   Now, this address we return is straight from the symbol table, so
-   it hasn't been adjusted to take into account where ABFD was loaded.
-   But that's okay --- our job is just to return the unrelocated code
-   address.  */
