Hi, I'm using patchelf 0.8 from Guix commit 7f81cce3 on Debian Sid.  When
trying to patch the `go` binary from
<https://dl.google.com/go/go1.12.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz>, I get the following
error:

    ivan <at> sax /tmp/tmps2Cv6w [env]$ patchelf --print-interpreter $SHELL
    /gnu/store/ahqgl4h89xqj695lgqvsaf6zh2nhy4pj-glibc-2.29/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
    ivan <at> sax /tmp/tmps2Cv6w [env]$ patchelf --set-interpreter $(patchelf --print-interpreter $SHELL) /tmp/tmps2Cv6w/golang/bin/go
    patchelf: patchelf.cc:701: void ElfFile<Elf_Ehdr, Elf_Phdr, Elf_Shdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Off, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Sym>::rewriteSectionsExecutable() \
     [with Elf_Ehdr = Elf64_Ehdr; Elf_Phdr = Elf64_Phdr; Elf_Shdr = Elf64_Shdr; Elf_Addr = long unsigned int; Elf_Off = long unsigned int; \
     Elf_Dyn = Elf64_Dyn; Elf_Sym = Elf64_Sym]: Assertion `(off_t) rdi(hdr->e_shoff) >= startOffset' failed.
    Aborted

(I know Go is packed for Guix, my need arises from trying to build an
unrelated project which relies on binary Go for its build process.)

It may be the problem described here regarding Go-produced binaries:
<https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/issues/66>.  It seems to be fixed in
patchelf 0.10, and indeed trying the same operation with patchelf 0.10 from
Debian does succeed to patch the binary.

As an aside, I tried to build `--with-source` for 0.10 and it succeeds to
compile, but tests fail to pass.

Thank you very much!
