Clang16 links the purgatory text in two sections when PGO is in use:

  [ 1] .text             PROGBITS         0000000000000000  00000040
       00000000000011a1  0000000000000000  AX       0     0     16
  [ 2] .rela.text        RELA             0000000000000000  00003498
       0000000000000648  0000000000000018   I      24     1     8
  ...
  [17] .text.hot.        PROGBITS         0000000000000000  00003220
       000000000000020b  0000000000000000  AX       0     0     1
  [18] .rela.text.hot.   RELA             0000000000000000  00004428
       0000000000000078  0000000000000018   I      24    17     8

And both of them have their range [sh_addr ... sh_addr+sh_size] on the
area pointed by `e_entry`.

This causes that image->start is calculated twice, once for .text and
another time for .text.hot. The second calculation leaves image->start
in a random location.

Because of this, the system crashes immediately after:
