a607e5d7f8 Get the actual pathname of the dynamic linker from the executable's
PT_INTERP program header entry, to ensure that gdb always finds
the right dynamic linker.

Use obj->relocbase to simplify a few calculations where appropriate.

7360ae0f2a When checking to see if a shared object is already loaded, look for
a device/inode match if no pathname match is found.

926ea445fe Revamp the symbol lookup algorithm to cope better with objects
loaded separately by dlopen that have global symbols with identical
names.  Viewing each dlopened object as a DAG which is linked by its
DT_NEEDED entries in the dynamic table, the search order is as
follows:

  * If the referencing object was linked with -Bsymbolic, search it
    internally.
  * Search all dlopened DAGs containing the referencing object.
  * Search all objects loaded at program start up.
  * Search all objects which were dlopened() using the RTLD_GLOBAL
    flag (which is now supported too).

The search terminates as soon as a strong definition is found.
Lacking that, the first weak definition is used.

These rules match those of Solaris, as best I could determine them
from its vague manual pages and the results of experiments I performed.

bfb1ef6058 Change many asserts into normal errors. They were all for conditions
caused by invalid shared objects rather than by internal errors.

Enable format string mismatch checking for _rtld_error().

3124c3e093 Import the ELF dynamic linker. This is the ElfKit version with
quite a few enhancements and bug fixes.  There are still some known
deficiencies, but it should be adequate to get us started with ELF.
