This variable allows the loading of shared libraries via directory descriptors
rather than via library paths. If LD_LIBRARY_PATH_FDS=3:4:12, the directories
represented by file descriptors 3, 4 and 12 will searched for shared libraries
before the normal path-based mechanisms are used. This allows us to execute
unprivileged binaries from within a Capsicum sandbox even if they require
shared libraries.

C runtime services, like printf(). Unfortunately, the multithread-safeness
measures in the libc do not work in rtld environment.
Rip the kernel printf() implementation and use it in the rtld instead of
libc version. This printf does not require any shared global data and thus
is mt-safe. Systematically use rtld_printf() and related functions, remove
the calls to err(3).
Note that stdio is still pulled from libc due to libmap implementaion using
fopen(). This is safe but unoptimal, and can be changed later.
