bptypes.h originally defined int32 to be of type long. This obviously
doesn't work on the Alpha. By defining int32 (and u_int32) in terms of
int32_t (and u_int32_t) it now is what it says it should be.
Two occurrences of 'unsigned int32' have been changed to 'u_int32' for
consistency.

libjava peeks into the dynamic linker's private Obj_Entry structures.
My recent changes introduced some new members near the front of
the structures, causing libjava to get the wrong fields. This commit
moves the new members toward the end of the structure so that the
layout of the portion that is relevant to JDK remains the same as
before.
I will work with the JDK porting team to see if we can come up with
a less fragile way for them to do what they need to do. I understand
the current approach was necessary in order to work around some
limitations of the dynamic linker. Maybe it's not necessary any
more.

the right dynamic linker.
Use obj->relocbase to simplify a few calculations where appropriate.
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.

the dynamic linker didn't clean up properly. A subsequent dlopen()
of the same object would appear to succeed.
Another excellent fix from Max Khon.

discovered by Hidetoshi Shimokawa. Large programs need multiple
GOTs. The lazy binding stub in the PLT can be reached from any of
these GOTs, but the dynamic linker only has enough information to
fix up the first GOT entry. Thus calls through the other GOTs went
through the time-consuming lazy binding process on every call.
This fix rewrites the PLT entries themselves to bypass the lazy
binding.
Tested by Hidetoshi Shimokawa and Steve Price.

Make the dynamic linker work if it is built as an executable instead
of as a shared library. See i386/Makefile.inc to find out how to
do it. Note, this change is not enabled and it might never be
enabled. But it might be useful in the future. Building the
dynamic linker as an executable should make it start up faster,
because it won't have any relocations. But in practice I suspect
the difference is negligible.
