Any I appologize for taking so long to give this a proper review.
I've gone through and committed the basic architecture support.
You are going to have to fight with me a bit to get the ldso
stuff accepted though.  :-)

The ldso code should really be under a modified BSD style license
rather than LGPL, both to match the rest of the ldso code, but
also just to make it very clear that code using the dynamic
linker need not be GPL'd compatible.

It is clear we are going to have to do something to make your
ldso changes less intrusive.  For now I've left out:

	ldso/include/dl-hash.h
	ldso/include/dl-string.h
	ldso/include/dl-syscall.h
	ldso/ldso/dl-elf.c
	ldso/ldso/dl-hash.c
	ldso/ldso/dl-startup.c
	include/link.h
	ldso/ldso/ldso.c
	ldso/ldso/Makefile
	ldso/libdl/libdl.c
	ldso/libdl/Makefile
	extra/scripts/relative_path.sh

I've been working hard recently to clean up ldso.  Its still a
pile of seriously ugly crap, with piles of hacks and badly
written code sprinked all over for good measure.  But it is at
least beginning to have a bit of cleanliness peeking through in a
few small spots if you squint at the properly.  So I'm not
currently prepared to accept such a big mass of changes all in
one go.  You'll have a lot more luck spoon feeding me smaller
bits cleverly disguised as code cleanups...
