Running gllin natively on EABI

Hi there,
I made a dynamic linker with the ability to perform basic abi
translation so that gllin runs without a second rootfs for the chroot,
which I didn't like to have on my neo. The project is called The
schwartz. I'm posting this a bit late because I didn't have time to
finish it earlier.
It's mostly a matter of space saving.
- no chroot,
- no OABI support in the kernel needed.
- no root privileges required.
The linker binary is called ld4 and it normally is a separate file, so
you need two files: ld4 and gllin. We can link the two programs into a
single executable using ld, and if we used zlib we could probably get
the whole thing to under 0.5MB, but it won't be redistributable
legally.
