I think it only make sense to add the GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR if the ABI actually 
supports DT_RELR, otherwise if the ABI start to support old glibcs might
wrongly assumes DT_RELR and fails with undefined behavior at runtime
(which this patch essentially tries to avoid).

One line per definition.

This test should be enable iff for $(have-dt-relr) == yes.

Same as before. Maybe use the same strategy we do for time64: add a config.h
define to HAVE_DTRELR (set by configure) and use it to set the symbol if
it is defined.

This define would be used on dl-version.c to also enable the l_abi_version
check.
