Hi!

If kernel doesn't provide any AT_PLATFORM in auxv on targets which
support it, we should reject any libraries with non-zero
_DL_HWCAP_PLATFORM bits (i.e. any platform optimized libs),
rather than accepting them all.  Otherwise we could say load
power5 optimized lib on power4 when using ld.so.cache (for path
searches for libraries ld.so was doing the right thing already before).

	* elf/dl-cache.c (HWCAP_CHECK): If _DL_PLATFORMS_COUNT, but
	platform == -1, reject any libs with non-zero _DL_HWCAP_PLATFORM
	bits.
