Fix the problem that surfaced with the new binutils import on sparc64

(and that is for now being worked around by a binutils patch).

The rtld code tested &_DYNAMIC against 0 to see whether rtld itself
was built as PIC or not. While the sparc64 MD code did not rely
on the preset value of the GOT slot for _DYNAMIC any more due
to previous binutils changes, it still used to not be 0, so
that this check did work. The new binutils do however initialize
this slot with 0. As a consequence, rtld would not properly initialize
itself and crash.
Fix that by introducing a new macro, RTLD_IS_DYNAMIC, to take the role
of this test. For sparc64, it is implemented using the rtld_dynamic()
code that was already there. If an architecture does not provide its
own implementation, we default to the old check.

While being there, mark _DYNAMIC as a weak symbol in the sparc64
rtld_start.S. This is needed in the LDSCRIPT case, which is however
not currently supported for want of an actual ldscript.

Sanity checked with md5 on alpha, amd64, i386 and ia64.
