- Apply patch from J.T. Conklin to execute .init/.fini functions in order.
- Support DF_1_INITFIRST and mark libc with DF_1_INITFIRST. Shared libs
should be recording a dependency on libc, but it's too late to do that.
Ok christos@.
avoid wasting OS flag bits. In the future we'll probably use fileassoc to
achieve this (once there is a way to make fileassoc persistent) or in the
shorter term libelf, so that we can add and remove the note on demand instead
of burning bits on each binary. Of course since this is a tool, this means
that we'll need to think about how to handle libelf...

for set{u,g}id binaries, so that in case they are playing with set{u,g}id
and exec'ing other binaries they don't get affected by the
LD_{PRELOAD,DEBUG,LIBRARY_PATH} environment setup. We leave LD_BIND_NOW alone.
There are no binaries affected in the base system.
free() call, change the allocation policy to leave the responsibility for
allocation/freeing the pathname to _rtld_map_object(), instead of having
the caller allocate it and _rtld_map_object() free it. This simplifies the
code a lot and it is more efficient.
"Fix a bug that showed up when debugging dynamically linked programs.
References from GDB to "printf" and various other functions would
find the versions in the dynamic linker itself, rather than the
versions in the program's libc. This fix moves the GDB link map
entry for the dynamic linker to the end of the search list, where
its symbols will be found only if they are not found anywhere else."
"printf" isn't true for us, but various libc symbols are, e.g. "malloc".
