14a55adf36 Update rtld for the "new" ia64 ABI. In the old toolchain, the
DT_INIT and DT_FINI tags pointed to fptr records.  In 2.11.2, it points
to the actuall address of the function.  On IA64 you cannot just take
an address of a function, store it in a function pointer variable and
call it.. the function pointers point to a fptr data block that has the
target gp and address in it.  This is absolutely necessary for using
the in-tree binutils toolchain, but (unfortunately) will not work with
old shared libraries.  Save your old ld-elf.so.1 if you want to use
old ones still.  Do not mix-and-match.

This is a no-op change for i386 and alpha.

b5393d9f78 Add ia64 support. Various adjustments were made to existing targets to
cope with a few interface changes required by the ia64. In particular,
function pointers on ia64 need special treatment in rtld.
