4688279db5 Clean up the linker a bit, remove prelinking support.
Also make the errors more readable, since none of us seemed to know
what they actually meant. The new style is still as verbose as the
old, but that's probably necessary in the absence of chained exceptions
in C. Here's what you'd see if you try to boot after removing
libsurfaceflinger.so:

  32267 32267 E AndroidRuntime: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Cannot load library: (linker.c:1629, pid 32259) soinfo_link_image: could not load library "libsystem_server.so" needed by "libandroid_servers.so"; caused by (linker.c:1629, pid 32259) soinfo_link_image: could not load library "libsurfaceflinger.so" needed by "libsystem_server.so"; caused by (linker.c:709, pid 32259) load_library: library "libsurfaceflinger.so" not found

This patch also fixes almost all of the compiler warnings.

166b7dbd4a linker: reduce size by nearly 20KB
This patch adds a trivial implementation of snprintf() that calls
our internal vsnprintf().

Inspection of the generated machine code showed that the linker
contained a full implementation of stdio's vfprintf. It was pulled
in because the pthread implementation uses snprintf() somewhere.

ProTip: It's possible to see why specific objects files are included
in a final binary by adding the following to your Android.mk, then
looking at the content of /tmp/MAP.TXT:

  LOCAL_LDFLAGS += -Wl,-Map=/tmp/MAP.TXT

ec92af8fe5 Log signal info at time of receipt
When a fatal signal is received, we now write a message to the log
that looks like this:

  F/libc    ( 1540): Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV) at 0xdeadd00d (code=1)

This is useful for debugging fatal signals that turn out not to be
fatal.  This also changes the signal reset from SIG_IGN to SIG_DFL,
so that future non-fatal fatal signals are fatal.

The code that blocked SIGUSR1 to avoid being interrupted by the GC
has been removed.

Also, fix minor issues in format_buffer().

5c734644ee Fix debug output in the dynamic linker.
This provides a mini-printf implementation that reduces the
size of the dynamic linker by 25 KB, by preventing the drag of
formatting-related routines from the C library.

Also allow traces to be sent to the log, instead of stdout.

NOTE: You now need to modify Android.mk to enable/disable debug
      output.
