This change makes linker handling of .preinit_array compliant with the
System V ABI:
"These [pre-initialization] functions are executed after the dynamic linker has
built the process image and performed relocations but before any shared object
initialization functions."

The previous implementation of this flag was broken--it behaved identically
to RTLD_DEFAULT. This adds a proper implementation, which examines the address
of the calling function, and uses it to determine which library to use to begin
the symbol search process.

dladdr() is a GNU extension function, which allows the caller to retrieve
symbol information for a specified memory address. It is useful for things
like generating backtrace information at runtime.

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.
Changed it so that when the linker generates error messages, they are
scribbled away into a buffer that dlfcn and friends can read from.
Since the error messages are generetad with snprintf, and snprintf
MAY call malloc during some code paths, we now link against a version
of libc that does not contain malloc/free/realloc/calloc. We then define
malloc and friends in the dynamic loader, and make them abort() if they
are ever called.
