The problem was due to the fact that, in the case of dynamic executables,
the dynamic linker calls the DT_PREINIT_ARRAY, DT_INIT and DT_INIT_ARRAY
constructors when loading shared libraries and dynamic executables,
*before* calling the executable's entry point (i.e. arch-$ARCH/bionic/crtbegin_dynamic.c)
which in turns call __libc_init() in libc.so, as defined by bionic/libc_init_dynamic.c
The latter did call these constructors array again, mistakenly.
The patch also updates the documentation of many related functions.
Also adds a new section to linker/README.TXT explaining restrictions on
C library usage.
The patch has been tested on a Dream for stability issues with
proprietary blobs:
- H264 decoding works
- Camera + Video recording works
- GPS works
- Sensors work
The tests in system/extra/tests/bionic/libc/common/test_static_cpp_mutex.cpp has been
run and shows the static C++ constructor being called only once.

libc: Add an intermediate version of the static libc without malloc
Removes a lot of redundant code, and reorganizes the file. We first
setup all the comomn variables we may need, and then define the
actual libraries that need to be generated.

Fix __aeabi_atexit to call __cxa_atexit properly. This function is defined by the C++ ABI for ARM document.
the issue is that the BSD implementation doesn't accept a call like:
getaddrinfo(SERVER_NAME, "9999", NULL, &res);
because if will reject a numerical string in the second parameter if no hints are explicitely
provided. This technically doesn't violate POSIX but might make porting Linux software a bit
difficult. For more details see:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-ndk/browse_thread/thread/818ab9c53f24c87
also comment debugging printf() calls which shouldn't be there.

Add the domain search list for VPN connection. The current solution is to read the net.dns.search property, and expand the list during the resolve initialization. In the future, we could implement search list per process.
