[PATCH 0/2] libdw: Rewrite the memory handler to be more robust


Hello,

This is (revived and rebased) version of the libdw memory manager that isn't affected by the PTHREAD_KEYS_MAX limit. There are some downsides, in particular if an application spawns many short-lived threads that all touch a Dwarf (enough to cause an allocation), there's about ~8N bytes of memory overhead.

The first patch is not required and adds some configure-time options for Valgrind annotation support (although, I'm not a serious autotools user, so it might need some work).
