i#7962: Fix elfutils crash#7963
Merged

Conversation
Fixes a crash where elfutils tries to un-compress in-place onto read-only memory by changing drsyms for UNIX to mmap as copy-on-write. This should have no extra cost when the mapping are never written. Tested on a local Linux distro where 16 tests crash without the fix and work with the fix. Fixes #7962

Fixes a crash where elfutils (since its update in PR #7938) tries to un-compress in-place onto read-only memory by changing drsyms for UNIX to mmap as copy-on-write. This should have no extra cost when the mapping is never written.
Tested on a local Linux distro where 16 tests crash without the fix (since the local libc requires un-compression) and work with the fix.
