That is to fix the bug:
dlxxx functions can't be called recursively.
For example, if we use dlopen() to use open one library whose constructor
also calls dlopen() in order to open another library, then the thread is
dead-blocked.
By changing the dl_lock from a non-recursive lock to a recursive lock, we can
prevent the thread from dead-blocked by recursive dlxxx calls in the same
thread context.

We don't have a toolchain anymore, we don't have working original
kernel headers, and nobody is maintaining this so there is really
no point in keeping this here. Details of the patch:
- removed code paths from Android.mk files related to the SuperH
architecture ("sh")
- removed libc/arch-sh, linker/arch-sh, libc/kernel/arch-sh
- simplified libc/SYSCALLS.TXT
- simplified the scripts in libc/tools/ and libc/kernel/tools

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.
