While for start_info we now (supposedly) guarantee that it lives below
4Gb, check it nevertheless to play/stay safe.

For the entrypoint address the situation is different: libelf already
hands us a 32-bit quantity; if there was truncation there, it would be
inside libelf (when extracting the value from the ELF notes). Reflect
the 32-bit-ness in types used.
