Wherever the program header loads it. Thus you must use a link map.

Which is needed anyway, since you want to get rid of .interp so that it
does not try to load another interpreter when you invoke it directly.
Do this by including *(.interp) in .rodata or something, because you
can't just get rid of it completely, being a linker-generated section.
