Commit 87d583c6e8 replaces the sed script
with an "objdump -f" invocation to determine the 'OUTPUT_FORMAT' bit of
the libc.so linker script.
However, when cross-compiling, for example from x86_64-linux-gnu to
aarch64-linux-gnu, "objdump -f" would report the wrong
format ("elf64-little"). Conversely, "aarch64-linux-gnu-objdump -f"
reports "elf64-littleaarch64" as expected.
This patch changes 'configure.ac' to use AC_CHECK_TOOL rather than
'$CC -print-prog-name=objdump' to determine the value of the OBJDUMP
variable. That way, OBJDUMP is set to TRIPLET-objdump when
cross-compiling for TRIPLET.

This reverts commit 6f85dbf102.
Once this change hits the release branches, it will require relinking
of all statically linked applications before static dlopen works
again, for the majority of updates on release branches: The NEWS file
is regularly updated with bug references, so the __libc_early_init
suffix changes, and static dlopen cannot find the function anymore.
While this ABI check is still technically correct (we do require
rebuilding & relinking after glibc updates to keep static dlopen
working), it is too drastic for stable release branches.

The files NEWS, include/link.h, and sysdeps/generic/ldsodefs.h
contribute to the version fingerprint used for detection. The
fingerprint can be further refined using the --with-extra-version-id
configure argument.
_dl_call_libc_early_init is replaced with _dl_lookup_libc_early_init.
The new function is used store a pointer to libc.so's
__libc_early_init function in the libc_map_early_init member of the
ld.so namespace structure. This function pointer can then be called
directly, so the separate invocation function is no longer needed.
The versioned symbol lookup needs the symbol versioning data
structures, so the initialization of libc_map and libc_map_early_init
is now done from _dl_check_map_versions, after this information
becomes available. (_dl_map_object_from_fd does not set this up
in time, so the initialization code had to be moved from there.)
This means that the separate initialization code can be removed from
dl_main because _dl_check_map_versions covers all maps, including
the initial executable loaded by the kernel. The lookup still happens
before relocation and the invocation of IFUNC resolvers, so IFUNC
resolvers are protected from ABI mismatch.
The __libc_early_init function pointer is not protected because
so little code runs between the pointer write and the invocation
(only dynamic linker code and IFUNC resolvers).

This essentially folds compat_symbol_unique functionality into
compat_symbol.
This change eliminates the need for intermediate aliases for defining
multiple symbol versions, for both compat_symbol and versioned_symbol.
Some binutils versions do not suport multiple versions per symbol on
some targets, so aliases are automatically introduced, similar to what
compat_symbol_unique did. To reduce symbol table sizes, a configure
check is added to avoid these aliases if they are not needed.
The new mechanism works with data symbols as well as function symbols,
due to the way an assembler-level redirect is used. It is not
compatible with weak symbols for old binutils versions, which is why
the definition of __malloc_initialize_hook had to be changed. This
is not a loss of functionality because weak symbols do not matter
to dynamic linking.
The placeholder symbol needs repeating in nptl/libpthread-compat.c
now that compat_symbol is used, but that seems more obvious than
introducing yet another macro.
A subtle difference was that compat_symbol_unique made the symbol
global automatically. compat_symbol does not do this, so static
had to be removed from the definition of
__libpthread_version_placeholder.

As discussed during development for glibc 2.29, when we increased the
required minimum GCC version for building glibc to GCC 5, working
purely based on the times at which such requirements have been
increased in the past it would be appropriate for glibc 2.30 to
require GCC 6 (matching GCC 4.9 having been required for glibc 2.26).
Naming 6.2 specifically as the minimum version then means a separate
version requirement no longer needs to be specified for powerpc64le.
Thus, this patch increases the minimum to 6.2, removing the
documentation of the separate requirement for powerpc64le. It does
not remove the powerpc64le configure test, or any __GNUC_PREREQ that
could be removed as not being in installed headers or files shared
with gnulib; I think such cleanups are best done separately.

We know that building glibc with GCC 4.9 is broken on various
platforms (bug 23993). As it's more than a year since we last
increased the minimum GCC version to build glibc, this patch changes
the requirement to be GCC 5 or later (indeed, based on 4.9 having been
required for building 2.26, it would be consistent in terms of timing
to require GCC 6 or later from the 2.30 release onwards). It
deliberately just updates the configure test and corresponding
documentation, leaving removal of no-longer-needed __GNUC_PREREQ tests
for a separate patch.
In the NEWS entry, the requirement for a newer GCC version for
powerpc64le is reiterated (as in the entry for the 4.9 requirement in
2.26) to avoid suggesting the version requirement there has gone down.
(If that version goes up further as part of support for binary128 long
double, of course the wording would change at that time.)

Currently, DT_TEXTREL is incompatible with IFUNC. When DT_TEXTREL or
