RFA: ARM dynamic object tests

With these tests added I saw new failures for the "arm-linux" and
"arm-netbsdelf" toolchains, which appeared to be due to the start
addresses that you are expecting.  For example the ld.log file for the
arm-linux toolchain showed:

  regexp_diff match failure
  regexp "^start address 0x00000368$"
  line   "start address 0x0000033c"
  regexp_diff match failure
  regexp "^00000368 <lib_func1>:$"
  line   "0000033c <lib_func1>:"
  [etc...]

Could you adjust your tests to prevent these failures ?

Cheers
