Here's a patch that supersedes the previous one.  I'm not totally
happy with the hack of using allocating
struct elf_link_sort_rela rela[i2e*count] as if it were
struct {
  ...
  union { Elf_Internal_Rel rel[i2e]; Elf_Internal_Rela rela[i2e]; }
} rela[count] but this was the best I could come up with that wouldn't
increase the memory use significantly for the most common case of
i2e==1.

Also, it was obviously not necessary to turn the union members into
arrays, but I found this would draw further attention to the fact that
something unusual is going on with them.


While investigating the dynamic relocations, I realized I had failed
to compose REL32 with 64 when generating dynamic relocations for n64,
so I fixed this too.

I'm giving this patch a round of heavy testing by building a lot of
shared libraries for n32 and n64 right now.  Ok to install if it
passes?
