Hi Jakub,
I don't think this patch is correct. It creates dynamic entries even
for static binaries. First, they are not necessary for static binaries.
Secondly,
# gcc -static foo.c
dumps core for Linux/mips. I think you should pad .dynamic when you
create it.

* scripttempl/elf.sc (DYNAMIC_PAD): New variable.
(DYNAMIC): Use it to reserve few dynamic entries for post-linking
tools.
