The 73fc4e28b9464f0e refactor did not add the GL(dl_phdr) and
GL(dl_phnum) for static build, relying on the __ehdr_start symbol,
which is always added by the static linker, to get the correct values.
This is problematic in some ways:
- The segment may see its in-memory size differ from its in-file
size (or the binary may have holes). The Linux has fixed is to
provide concise values for both AT_PHDR and AT_PHNUM (commit
0da1d5002745c - "fs/binfmt_elf: Fix AT_PHDR for unusual ELF files")
- Some archs (alpha for instance) the hidden weak reference is not
correctly pulled by the static linker and __ehdr_start address
end up being 0, which makes GL(dl_phdr) and GL(dl_phnum) have both
invalid values (and triggering a segfault later on libc.so while
accessing TLS variables).
The safer fix is to just restore the previous behavior to setup
GL(dl_phdr) and GL(dl_phnum) for static based on kernel auxv. The
__ehdr_start fallback can also be simplified by not assuming weak
linkage (as for PIE).
The libc-static.c auxv init logic is moved to dl-support.c, since
the later is build without SHARED and then GLRO macro is defined
to access the variables directly.
The _dl_phdr is also assumed to be always non NULL, since an invalid
NULL values does not trigger TLS initialization (which is used in
various libc systems).
Checked on aarch64-linux-gnu, x86_64-linux-gnu, and i686-linux-gnu.
