Hi,

This patch fixes the AArch64 implementation of elf_machine_dynamic() to find
_DYNAMIC via _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ as discussed here:

http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-ports/2013-06/msg00057.html

The corresponding change in ld required to correctly build ld.so was
committed to binutils here:

http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2013-06/msg00248.html

* sysdeps/aarch64/dl-machine.h (elf_machine_dynamic): De-reference
