ac6c268b3d Pay attention to the environment variable "LD_IGNORE_MISSING_OBJECTS".
If it is set to a nonempty string, then simply skip any missing
shared libraries.  This came up in a discussion long ago as a
potentially useful feature at sysinstall time.  For example, an
X11 utility could be used without the X libraries being present,
provided the utility had a mode in which no X functions were actually
called.

1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.

0db65949ae Add support for the LD_BIND_NOW environment variable. If it is set to a
nonempty string, then function calls are relocated at program start-up
rather than lazily.  This variable is standard on Sun and SVR4 systems.

The dlopen() function now supports both lazy and immediate binding, as
determined by its "mode" argument, which can be either 1 (RTLD_LAZY) or
2 (RTLD_NOW).  I will add defines of these symbols to <dlfcn.h> as soon
as I've done a little more checking to make sure they won't cause
collisions or bootstrapping problems that would break "make world".

The "LD_*" environment variables which alter dynamic linker behavior are
now treated as unset if they are set to the empty string.  This agrees
with the standard SVR4 conventions for the dynamic linker.

Add a work-around for programs compiled with certain buggy versions of
crt0.o.  The buggy versions failed to set the "crt_ldso" member of the
interface structure.  This caused certain error messages from the
dynamic linker to begin with "(null)" instead of the pathname of the
dynamic linker.

5584286a91 Update to handle new version ld.so.hints and info in executable for
configurable fallback search paths, as well as new crt interface version.

Also:
 - even faster getenv(), get all environment variable settings in a single
   pass.
 - ldd printf-like format specifications
 - minor code cleanups, one vsprintf -> vsnprintf (harmless)

The library search sequence is a little more complete now. Before,
it'd search $LD_LIBRARY_PATH (by opendir/readdir/closedir), then read
the hints file, then read /usr/lib (again by scanning thr directory).  It
would then fail if there was no "found" library.

Now, it does LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the hints file the same, but then uses
a longer fallback path.  The -R path is fetched from the executable if
specified at build time, the ldconfig path is appended, and /usr/lib is
appended to that. Duplicates are suppressed.  This means that simply
placing a new library in /usr/local/lib will work (the same as it did in
/usr/lib) without needing ldconfig -m.  It will find it quicker if the
ldconfig is run though.

Similar changes have been made to the NetBSD ld.so, but ours is rather
different now due to John Polstra's speedups and fixes from a while back.

The ldd printf-like format support came direct from NetBSD.
