I've added some changes now but I really don't think that the concept of
_dl_init_first is good.  The dependency ordering makes sure that the
libc constructor is run before an of the dependencies.  This almost
always means it it run first.  There are only two exceptions:

- if a DSO really doesn't use the libc.  Which is fine

- if libpthread is used in which case a very minimal initialization is
  executed (this isn't even an issue for Hurd right now)

It should be possible to eliminate the function.
