determine (or guess) Haiku version and ABI and use those for compatibility
decisions.

and the kernel read those values from the shared object (if available). In the
runtime loader this should eventually replace the gcc version guessing method
currently used (at least for shared objects built for Haiku). The optional
packages need to be rebuilt first, though.

the per-root-image breadth-first sorted image array. Instead we have a
per-image hook function to resolve the symbols. The default function
uses the sLoadedImages list directly, which is breadth-first sorted
anyway. There's also a BeOS function for old-style symbol resolution
and one for add-ons, which lacks a proper implementation yet (just
uses old-style ATM).
* Made the dl*() functions POSIX compliant:
- dlopen() does no longer use load_add_on(), but loads the object as a
library. It also properly supports a NULL name, now -- the previous
"_APP_" work-around did only work, if this soname was set on the
program (unlikely for programs using this API).
- Implemented RTLD_{GLOBAL,LOCAL}.
- dlsym() looks up symbols properly now, i.e. not just in the given
image, but breadth-first for an actual image or in load order for
the global scope. It also supports the not-quite POSIX RTLD_DEFAULT
and RTLD_NEXT extensions. Our RTLD_NEXT finds more symbols than in
Linux (also in later dlopen()ed libraries), but that should be fine.

can export a structure containing callback hooks invoked by the
runtime loader when certain image events occur (image loaded,
relocated, initialized, etc.).
* Also added a mechanism to patch image symbols. For an image callback
functions can be installed that patch symbols exported or imported by
the image.

add-on) we create a breadth-first sorted image list and use that to
search for symbols.
* Added support for preloading libraries. The environment variable
LD_PRELOAD can contain a whitespace-separated list of shared objects
that will be loaded before the program. This allows to replace
symbols without changing the executable or libraries.
* Resolved TODO in load_program() regarding the order of remapping the
images and initializing the dependencies (problem fixed in r28453).

in struct stat.
* Instead, I followed Marcus' great idea and added a compatibility check in
the runtime loader: now, R5 binaries (also shared libraries) are detected,
and they get special versions for stat(), fstat(), and lstat() that return
the smaller stat struct.
* However, I've disabled (in src/system/libroot/posix/sys/stat.c) using the
larger stat field for now, as this breaks some of our optional packages.
So until we rebuild them all, this shouldn't be enabled.
* This should now also be used for BeOS compatibility in libnetwork.so.

depending on the gcc version of the executable.
* Adjusted non-BeOS-style symbol resolution so that add-ons and
dynamically loaded libraries find symbols in the executable.
This change re-enables support for undefined symbols.

shared object to find out the GCC version it has been compiled with.
This is not an exact science, since we've got the version string for
every single object file that has been linked in, but my heuristic seems
to be good enough.
Having the gcc version at hand will allow for two features: Enabling
work-arounds for old executables (like the type info problem in BeOS
apps), and automatically selecting the right set of libraries in a mixed
gcc 2/gcc 4 environment.
