Any clean solutions to improve the performance of dynamic program
startup are generally welcome!

As to using an alternate loader, there's already support in
<bsd.prog.mk> for this.  If you set SHLINKDIR to a directory,
dynamic programs will be built looking for the linker in that
directory.  This is done with something like:
	-Wl,-dynamic-linker=/path/to/new/ld.elf_so


I've successfully used that to move my shared linker from /usr/libexec
to /lib.
