alpha/boot/tools/objstrip: fix the check for ELF header
[ Upstream commit 1878787797cbb019eeefe6f905514dcd557302b6 ]
Just memcmp() with ELFMAG - that's the normal way to do it in userland
code, which that thing is. Besides, that has the benefit of actually
building - str_has_prefix() is *NOT* present in <string.h>.
