this change in place.
The shlib code is not capable of supporting this feature in it's present
state and will need significant modifications in order to do so.
members over shared library members. This modification causes the linker
to use the first definition it sees for a symbol instead of having
priorities based on the library type. This modification should allow
gdb to compile again.

This version of ld sync's us up with NetBSD's ld and supports compatablily
with NetBSD's -[zZ] flags (which we had reversed). Compiling with this
new ld will give you RRS warnings for libraries which do not contain .type
infomation - these wsarnings are harmless and will go away as soon as you
recompile your libraries (cd /usr/src; make libraries).
lib.c:
Pull in archives containing definitions needed by shared objects.
warnings.c:
Less spurious "undefined symbol" msgs for shared library defined
symbols.
ld.c:
Do a better job of recognising data in text segments, eg. `const char []'.
shlib.c,ld/rtld/{Makefile rtld.c}
Use strsep() in stead of strtok() and restore colons in eg. env. vars.
