Armhf dynamic linker path

[Steve McIntyre]

Hi folks,

We really need to push on with getting the loader path for armhf
standardised. The path that was agreed months ago is

 /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ld-linux.so.3

but clearly not everybody is using that yet. Dann has just posted an
updated patch for gcc, and we want to get this reviewed / fixed up /
accepted ASAP. Then we may need to backport it to older gcc releases.

This is *important* so that we can help vendors release binaries that
work on any hard-float distribution. For people who have made binaries
that still use the old, broken location /lib/ld-linux.so.3, we can put
symlinks in place *for now* but in the longer term as many distros
switch to multi-arch the symlink is not an acceptable solution.

I'm working on a more complete spec document for armhf to help us with
this kind of thing, but it's not going as smoothly as I'd hoped and I
don't want to wait for that as a blocker on the linker path.

Cheers,
