It isn't safe to make assumptions about the order of the entries in the dynamic section.  Fix the ldflags test to cope with the case where GNU_HASH comes before NEEDED and/or INIT.

Also, add a new warning for binaries which contain useless (but benign) rpath entries pointing to the default search locations.
