+#                               nacl_helper_bootstrap_munge_phdr.c
+#       INFILE                  raw linked ELF file name
+#       OUTFILE                 output file name
+#
+# We just run the MUNGE-PHDR-PROGRAM on a copy of INFILE.
+# That modifies the file in place.  Then we move it to OUTFILE.

+# We only have this wrapper script because nacl_helper_bootstrap_munge_phdr.c
+# wants to modify a file in place (and it would be a much longer and more
+# fragile program if it created a fresh ELF output file instead).

Nit: Maybe do:
segment_num = '1'
result = subprocess.call([munger, tmpfile, segment_num])

+  if result != 0:

You can use subprocess.check_call().  Then you don't need this check.

+    print '%s failed with %d' % (munger, result)
+    sys.exit(result)
+  shutil.move(tmpfile, outfile)
+
+if __name__ == '__main__':
+  Main(sys.argv)

FWIW, I think it's preferable to do "Main(sys.argv[1:])"
