[Bug libgcj/28175] New: libgcj install tree should be relocatable

[fitzsim at redhat dot com]

Ideally, libgcj's install tree would be relocatable.  Currently though, there
are places where we hard-code full paths, such as the -rpath values in gij.  It
would be nice if someone went through all such references and turned them into
relative paths.  On Linux-based systems one could use /proc/self/exe to look up
the bin prefix.  Other platforms would require their own tricks.

Using /proc/self/exe would only work for "gij" - we'd want a solution that can
work for native binaries as well, so figuring out the prefix based on
libgcj.so's location is probably better.

On Linux, this can be found with dl_iterate_phdr().
