rtld-elf has some vestigial support for building as a static executable.
r45501 introduced a partial implementation with a prescient note that it
"might never be enabled." r153515 introduced ELF symbol versioning
support, and removed part of the unused build infrastructure for static
rtld.
GNU ld populates rela relocation addends and GOT entries with the same
values, and rtld's run-time dynamic executable check relied on this.
Alternate toolchains may not populate the GOT entries, which caused
RTLD_IS_DYNAMIC to return false. Simplify rtld by just removing the
unused check.
If we want to restore static rtld support later on we ought to introduce
a build-time #ifdef flag.

(hopefully) stock gcc 4.2.1 on i386 and other arches.
In particular:
- Do not use %ebx in the asm constraints on i386, since rtld is
compiled with -fPIC and gcc cannot handle GOT-base register reload
(clang and newer gcc can).
- Avoid direct use of [static N] construct in the function
declaration/definion. In-tree gcc was patched to support this, but
stock 4.2.1 cannot handle the feature.

CPUID[7].%ebx (cpu_stdext_feature), %ecx (cpu_stdext_feature2) to the
ifunc resolvers on x86.
It is much more clean to use CPUID instruction in usermode to retrieve
this information than to pass AT_HWCAP aux vector from kernel, on
x86. Still, the change does allow for use of AT_HWCAP on arches where it is
needed, by passing aux array to ifunc_init() initializer which should
prepare arguments for ifunc resolvers.
Current signature for resolvers on x86 is
func_t iresolve(uint32_t cpu_feature, uint32_t cpu_feature2,
uint32_t cpu_stdext_feature, uint32_t cpu_stdext_feature2);
where arguments have identical meaning as the kernel variables of the
same name. The ABIs allow to use resolvers with the void or shortened
list of arguments.

phdr locks locked. This allows to call rtld services from the
callback, which is only reasonable for dlopen(path, RTLD_NOLOAD) to
test existence of the library in the image, and for dlsym(). The
later might still be not quite safe, due to the lazy resolution of
filters.
To allow dropping the locks around iteration in dl_iterate_phdr(3), we
insert markers to track current position between relocks. The global
objects list is converted to tailq and all iterators skip markers,
globallist_next() and globallist_curr() helpers are added.
