I do not see any evidence that PF_X would match the tests for either
of the following from the 2nd PT_LOAD:

19 .got          00000098  0000000010019800  0000000010019800  00009800  2**8
                CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA
20 .plt          00000708  0000000010019898  0000000010019898  00009898  2**3
                ALLOC

in the likes of:

135	            if ((segs[nsegs]->p_flags & PF_X) == PF_X) {
136	                text_end = MAX(text_end,
137	                    round_page(segs[nsegs]->p_vaddr + segs[nsegs]->p_memsz));
138	            }

in map_object.c

This is possibly to avoid:

467	    if (elfflags & PF_X)
468	        prot |= PROT_EXEC;

because of writable code.


rtld.c also, for:

1397	            nsegs++;
1398	            if ((ph->p_flags & PF_X) == PF_X) {
1399	                obj->textsize = MAX(obj->textsize,
1400	                    round_page(ph->p_vaddr + ph->p_memsz) - obj->vaddrbase);
1401	            }

Still, I may be missing something in my understanding.
