29ba9b6124 Provide support for ELFv2 userland if using a newer compiler (recent clang
or gcc) and binutils >= 2.24. Not enabled by default.

79c77d726e Turn off default generation of userland dot symbols on powerpc64 now that
we have a binutils that supports it. Kernel dot symbols remain on to assist
DDB.

071a51cf97 Fix an error in the ABI in rtld_bind_start(). When passing arguments to a
C function, the caller's stack frame must have room to store all of the
arguments to that function. While here, fix stack frame alignment issues.

Without this change, the compiler will save r3 and r4 into the caller's
stack frame before calling setjmp() in _rtld_bind(). These would then
overwrite arguments to the newly-bound function, causing eventual failures.

27bd4146a1 RTLD support for powerpc64. A few small modifications to the Makefile
and symbol map are required to support various consequences of the dot
symbol scheme:

- Symbols beginning with a dot are reserved, so start private symbols with
  an underscore.
- In order to set RTLD breakpoints, gdb must be able to locate the text
  entry point, not the data section function descriptor, so add
  .r_debug_state to the symbol map on powerpc64.
