[PATCH] Make the segment base match pinned section address

ET_EXEC uses image base of 0x400000, but the build forces
section VMAs like .text = 0x10000. LLD now errors when any
section address is below the image base unless you explicitly
set the base. (Older LLD tolerated it.)
To fix this, set the image base to match forced section addresses
Fixes
| x86_64-yoe-linux-ld.lld: error: section '.text' address (0x10000) is smaller than image base (0x400000); specify --image-base
| x86_64-yoe-linux-ld.lld: error: section '.bss' address (0x12000) is smaller than image base (0x400000); specify --image-base
