The difference is between ld.bfd and ld.lld, which emit executables with
different entry point addresses.  cc -m32 -fuse-ld=bfd gives an
executable that does not crash.

When linked with lld, libc and ld-elf get mapped into the region
[0x20000000,0x21000000], so the program crashes when the libc.so mapping
is overwritten with that created by the mmap() call and the program
calls printf().

Do you know why SYZ_DATA_OFFSET is hard-coded the way it is?  It looks
like it works more or less by accident, but at a glance I don't see why
it has to be a fixed mapping.
