mke2fs.real, mkfs.ext2.real, mkfs.ext3.real, mkfs.ext4.real are indentical
binary with multiple hardlinks and we end calling patchelf-uninative 4
times even when the interpreter is already set correctly from the build

To avoid corrupted binaries created by patchelf-0.18.0 when set-interpreter
is called multiple times (on some systems like ubuntu-18.04 this leads to
segfaults elsewhere just ldd complains that the executable is no longer
dynamically linked, but doesn't fail when executed).

The issue was reported upstream with mkfs.ext4.real as possible reproducer:
https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/issues/492#issuecomment-1602862272
alternatively we can revert
https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/commit/65cdee904431d16668f95d816a495bc35a05a192
and create new uninative release with update patchelf-uninative, but
better to wait a bit for upstream to have a look and possibly backport
proper fix later, until then this change fixes the mkfs.ext4 issues I was
seeing in kirkstone, mickledore, nanbield since uninative-3.9 upgrade, as
reported in:
