Elliott Hughes	42b2c6a5ee	Clean up the argc/argv/envp/auxv handling. There's now only one place where we deal with this stuff, it only needs to be parsed once by the dynamic linker (rather than by each recipient), and it's now easier for us to get hold of auxv data early on.

Clean up the argc/argv/envp/auxv handling.

There's now only one place where we deal with this stuff, it only needs to
be parsed once by the dynamic linker (rather than by each recipient), and it's
now easier for us to get hold of auxv data early on.

Add support for getauxval().  This method allows a program an easy way
to retrieve information from the kernel auxiliary vector, and will
hopefully replace other clumsy ways of accessing this same information.

This particular function was also added to glibc in glibc 2.16.
