32-bit programs generated by GCC-7.5.0 on ubuntu 18.04 are not based at 0x8048000

0

I write a very simple program

//main.c
int main() {
        return 0;
}

and compile it into a 32-bit executable.

gcc main.c -m32 -o main

And then I check its base address with readelf -l main

root@acesrc:~# readelf -l main

Elf file type is DYN (Shared object file)
Entry point 0x3b0
There are 9 program headers, starting at offset 52

It shows that the entry point is 0x3b0, instead of something like 0x8048xxx. I have also tested it on SUSE, the programs are based at 0x8048000. What's the reason for that?
