libctf: fix assertion failure with no system qsort_r
If no suitable qsort_r is found in libc, we fall back to an
implementation in ctf-qsort.c. But this implementation routinely calls
the comparison function with two identical arguments. The comparison
function that ensures that the order of output types is stable is not
ready for this, misinterprets it as a type appearing more that once (a
can-never-happen condition) and fails with an assertion failure.
Fixed, audited for further instances of the same failure (none found)
and added a no-qsort test to my regular testsuite run.

PR30217, dynamic relocations using local dynamic symbols
glibc's ld.so ignores local dynamic symbols. It's been that way
forever. We therefore can't use them on dynamic relocations. Fixing
that problem uncovered another problem in sorting of dynamic relocs,
caused no doubt by copying make_iplt_section (where we don't want

After digging a little bit, it became quite obvious that a dot is
missing in regexp that makes it impossible to match versions higher than
7.0, and here's the solution:
- | egrep 'texinfo[^0-9]*(6\.[3-9]|[7-9][0-9])' >/dev/null 2>&1; then
+ | egrep 'texinfo[^0-9]*(6\.[3-9]|[7-9]\.[0-9])' >/dev/null 2>&1; then
However, Eli pointed out that the solution above has another problem: it
will stop working when Texinfo 10.1 will be released. Meanwhile, he
suggested to solve this problem permanently. That is, we don't care
about the minor version for Texinfo > 6.9, we only care about the major
version.
In this way, the problem will be resolved permanently, thanks to Eli.

ARM: Fix ld bloat introduced between binutils-2.38 and 2.39
Since commit 9833b7757d24, "PR28824, relro security issues",
ELF_MAXPAGESIZE matters much more, with regards to layout of
the linked file. That commit fixed an actual bug, but also
exposes a problem for targets were that value is too high.
For example, for ARM(32, a.k.a. "Aarch32") specifically
bfd_arch_arm, it's set to 64 KiB, making all Linux(/GNU)
targets pay an extra amount of up to 60 KiB of bloat in
DSO:s and executables. This matters when there are many
such files, and where storage is expensive.
It's *mostly* bloat when using a Linux kernel, as ARM(32) is
a good example of an target where ELF_MAXPAGESIZE is set to
an extreme value for an obscure corner-case. The ARM
(32-bit) kernel has 4 KiB pages, has had that value forever,
and can't be configured to any other value. The use-case is
IIUC "Aarch32" emulation on an "Aarch64" (arm64) kernel, but
not just that, but a setup where the Linux page-size is
configured to something other than the *default* 4 KiB. Not
sure there actually any such systems in use, again with
both Aarch32 compatibility support and a non-4KiB pagesize,
with all the warnings in the kernel config and requiring the
"EXPERT" level set on.
So, let's do like x86-64 in a2267dbfc9e1 "x86-64: Use only
one default max-page-size" and set ELF_MAXPAGESIZE to 4096.
Many tests reflect a setting of ELF_MAXPAGESIZE to 64 KiB.
With ELF_MAXPAGESIZE changed to 4 KiB, layout is sometimes
different and symbols end up in other places. Avoid churn
and regexpification of old test patterns by passing the
max-page-size setting active at the time.
