Previously, the linker always loaded itself into the same
location in memory, which inhibited the effectiveness of Android's
ASLR implementation. Modify the linker code so it can be relocatable
and link itself at runtime.

Use LOCAL_NO_CRT to prevent linking against crtbegin.o, rather than
messing with build rules. This also prevents linking against crtend.o,
which isn't needed for the linker.

The computation of si->base assumed that the first entry in the
program header table is a PT_PHDR. This results in the dynamic
linker crashing with a SIGSEGV/MAPERR when trying to load some
of the NDK unit test programs, which happen to have an EXIDX
header first, followed byu a PHDR one.
This patch fixes the computation by parsing the program header
table, looking explicitely for the PHDR entry. This fixes the
load of the NDK unit test programs, and doesn't affect system
libraries.

Modify the dynamic linker so that executables can be loaded
at locations other than 0x00000000.
Modify crtbegin* so that non-PIC compilant "thumb interwork
veneers" are not created by the linker.

Some SoCs that support NEON nevertheless perform better with a non-NEON than a
NEON memcpy(). This patch adds build variable ARCH_ARM_USE_NON_NEON_MEMCPY,
which can be set in BoardConfig.mk. When ARCH_ARM_USE_NON_NEON_MEMCPY is
defined, we compile in the non-NEON optimized memcpy() even if the SoC supports
NEON.

Currently the dlmalloc allocates the memory with 8-byte alignment.
According to the com.aurorasoftworks.quadrant.ui.professional benchmark data:
We can get much better memory performance if we change it to be 16-byte aligned.
For example, On Nexus-S:
8-byte aligned :
1378 1070 1142 1665 1765 1163 1179 1263 1404 avg: 1336.555555556
16-byte aligned:
1691 1731 1780 1691 1671 1678 1802 1758 1780 avg: 1731.333333333
gain: 29.53%
That patch provides flexibity to customize the MALLOC_ALIGNMENT from the
board config.The macro MALLOC_ALIGNMENT defaults to 8.
To change it, please define BOARD_MALLOC_ALIGNMENT in the BoardConfig.mk:
BOARD_MALLOC_ALIGNMENT := <whatever>

A call to pthread_key_delete() after pthread_exit() have unmapped the stack of a thread
but before the ongoing pthread_join() have finished executing will result in an access
to unmapped memory.
Avoid this by invalidating the stack_base and tls pointers during pthread_exit().
This is based on the investigation and proprosed solution by
