Fetch the aux vector for the static libc, and use the entries to

initialize the cache of the system information as it was done for the
dynamic libc. This removes several sysctls from the static binary
startup.

Use the aux vector to fill the single struct dl_phdr_info describing
the static binary itself, to implement dl_iterate_phdr(3) for the
static binaries. [1]
