Re: more ELF changes

Bookkeeping seems to bemore complicated.  It's already quite
complicated as it is with the different kind of initializers and the
way the _dl_init_next functions are working (at, the whole function is
called quite often) they should be kept simple and not have many ifs
distinguishing runs of the preinit and the init.

But I want to overhaul the init handling anyhow.  There is no reason
to do that much in assembly.
