The way we load the Linux and PE/COFF image headers depends on a fixed placement of the COFF header at offset 0x40 into the file. This is a reasonable default, given that this is where Linux emits it today. However, in order to comply with the PE/COFF spec, which allows this header to appear anywhere in the file, let's ensure that we read the header from where it actually appears in the file if it is not located at offset 0x40.
