[PATCH 0/1] Update prelinker to latest upstream version

[Mark Hatle]

Update the prelinker to the latest (yoctoproject) cross_prelinker version.

This syncs to the latest Red Hat version, provides a new rtld emulation, and
now can identify bad GNU_HASH entries to help detect a bug in the hash
generation observed on PPC64.

The following changes since commit 41b7c955cfdc7b4d5c667c8a8742237d5edaca4f:

[PATCH 1/1] prelink: Update to latest upstream version

[Mark Hatle]

[YOCTO #1374] - Fixes underlying issue
[YOCTO #1331] - Detects bad GNU_HASH tables

Update to the latest upstream version.  This includes a number of
generic fixes, as well as a complete refresh of the prelink-rtld.

(Prelink-rtld is similar to the ld.so/ldd functionality on a normal
system.)

The new prelink-rtld update syncs to eglibc-2.13 and enables new
symbol resolution, include GNU_UNIQUE, that was causing problems on
x86_64 and potentially other architectures with C++.

An assert has been added to also detect a bad GNU_HASH situation
which was detected on some PPC64 systems.  The underlying problem is
within the toolchain, however prelink was making it worse leaving the
problem undetected.
