Hi,

This is a long delayed follow up to a patch by Sandra:
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-03/msg00704.html

I've reimplemented it to be MIPS specific and lightweight to just
initialise the necessary fields. Tested using mips64el-linux-gnu (n64)
with some manual verification to make sure I saw the loader failures if I
initialised the fpabi to an illegal value instead of zero.

MIPS requires two fields in the machine specific part of the link map to
be zero initialised.  This is natually achieved except when the map is
allocated on the stack.  The only map allocated on the stack is the
bootstrap map which is often the first use of the stack space following
kernel allocation and is therefore zero.  However, if rtld is invoked
such that the stack has already been used then there may be non-zero
data and ABI checks which use the affected fields will spuriously fail.

	* elf/rtld.c (_dl_start) [ifndef DONT_USE_BOOTSTRAP_MAP]: Call
	ELF_MACHINE_INIT_MAP.
	* sysdeps/mips/dl-machine.h (ELF_MACHINE_INIT_MAP): Define macro.

Thanks,
Matthew
