Summary:                    libdl (dlopen/dlsym) segfault when called from
statically linked executable
Description: 
Current (svn) libdl implementation in uClibc (dlopen() and friends)
segfault if called from a statically linked executable, since
_dl_symbol_tables is implicitly assumed to be non-NULL in dlopen() and
dlsym() (which is true for dynamic exes), and dereferenced (while its
initial value is NULL when called from a static executable).

Fixed as suggested in the patch. The alternative fix is probably how
libdl should work in the future, but libdl/ld.so needs more work
first.
