PIE images are ET_DYN images. Check first for pinterp_name to make
sure the main executable always is loaded to correct place.

See below for current behaviour of PIE executables:

Showing how the main binary got loaded to wrong place.

I assume pinterp_name is only ever set for the main executable.
Quick grep would indicate that this is indeed the case.

Forgot to mention. Due to the above, the brk is set wrong, and the
application will be unable to allocate any memory. Making them
practically unusable.

I've done quick testing that with this patch applied, the
PIE executables will have working brk().
