The runtime linker parses the ELF section headers to
discover the size of the init_array and fini_array, so
there is no point in putting NULL terminators at the end.

Add a GNU_STACK marker to crtend* files. This tells the linker
that these files do not require an executable stack.

When linking, a missing GNU_STACK marker in any .o file can prevent
the compiler from automatically marking the final executable as NX
safe (executable stack not required). In Android, we normally work
around this by adding -Wa,--noexecstack / -Wl,-z,noexecstack.
For files like crtend.S / crtend_so.S, which are included in every
executable / shared library, it's better to add the GNU_STACK note
directly to the assembly file. This allows the compiler to
automatically mark the final executable as NX safe without any
special command line options.

3b43f87d2949a340e2c19cb735af7727157d8274 02-Jul-2010 David 'Digit' Turner <digit@android.com> Allow dlclose() to properly call static C++ destructors.

With this patch _and_ an upcoming build/ patch, the destruction
of static C++ objects contained in shared libraries will happen
properly when dlclose() is called.

Note that this change introduces crtbegin_so.S and crtend_so.S which
are currently ignored by the build system.

+ move definition of __dso_handle to the right place
(before that, all shared libraries used the __dso_handle
global variable from the C library).

Note that we keep a 'weak' __dso_handle in aeabi.c to avoid
breaking the build until the next patch to build/core/combo/
appears. We will be able to remove that later.

+ move bionic/aeabi.c to arch-arm/bionic/ (its proper location)

NOTE: The NDK will need to be modified to enable this feature in
the shared libraries that are generated through it.
