Binary patch the bundled glibc library to inhibit loading of host locale
archives in order to avoid triggering internal libc assertions when
invoking shipped, bundled executables.
The problem has been solved with upstream Glibc commit
0062ace229 ("Gracefully handle incompatible locale data") but we still
need to deal with older Glibc binaries for some time to come.
Fixes FS#1803

This allegedly fixes compilation of the library bundler preload library on
Apple OS X. The resulting executables have not been runtime tested due to a
lack of suitable test hardware.

Remove references to /etc/, /lib/ and /usr/ from the bundled ld.so
interpreter using simple binary patching.
This is needed to prevent loading host system libraries such as
libnss_compat.so.2 on foreign systems, which may result in ld.so
inconsistency assertions.

Only mangle argv[0] of the first executed process and leave the argument
vector of subsequent invocations as-is to allow child programs to properly
discover resources relative to their binary locations.
Fixes "cc1" discovery when executing the host gcc through the bundled
"ccache" executable.

Commit 72d751cba9 "build: rework library bundling" introduced a new helper
binary "runas" whose sole purpose was mangling the argv vector passed to
the actual called ELF image so that the renamed executable could obtain the
proper name from argv[0].
This approach, however totally defeated the purpose of calling bundled ELF
executables through the shipped ld.so loader since the execv() invocation
performed by "runas" would cause the kernel the interprete the final program
image through the system ELF loader again.
To solve the problem, use an alternative approach of shipping a shared object
"runas.so" which uses an ELF ".init_array" function pointer to obtain the
argv[] vector of the to-be-executed main() function and mangle it in-place.
The actual argv[0] value to use is communicated out-of-band using an
environment variable "RUNAS_ARG0" by the shell wrapper script. The wrapper
script also takes care of setting LD_PRELOAD to instruct the shipped ELF
loader to preload the actual ELF program image with the "runas.so" helper
library.

Rework the bundle-libraries.sh implementation to use a more robust approach
for executing host binaries through the shipped ELF loader and libraries.
The previous approach relied on symlinks pointing to a wrapper script which
caused various issues, especially with multicall binaries as the original
argv[0] name was not preserved through the ld.so invocation. Another down-
side was the fact that the actual binaries got moved into another directory
which caused executables to fail looking up resources with paths relative
to the executable location.
The new library wrapper implements the following improvements:
- Instead of symlinks pointing to a common wrapper, each ELF executable
is now replaced by a unqiue shell script which retains the original
program name getting called
- Instead of letting ld.so invoke the ELF executable directly, launch
the final ELF binary through a helper program which fixes up the argv[0]
argument for the target program
- Support sharing a common location for the bundled libraries instead of
having one copy in each directory containing wrapped binaries
Finally modify the SDK build to wrap the staging_dir and toolchain binaries
which allows to use the SDK on systems with a different glibc version.
