>Description:
	ld.elf_so dynamic symbol table contains lobal defitions of statically
	linked libc symbols, which confuses gdb in the cases where there are
	symbol collsions.

	For instance, set a break point in malloc.  gdb invariably finds the
	symbol ebedded in the dynamic linker itself, not the libc.so instance.

int j = 5;
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  char *foo;

  foo = malloc(16);

  printf("Hello World %p %p %p\n",&malloc, &foo,foo);
  exit(0);

Note the breakpoint for malloc is never hit.

>Fix:
	

Adding a ld "version script" removes all of the libc functions
embedded in the dynamic linker from its dynamic symbol table, and
exports only those symbols which should be accessed from the dynamic
linker itself.

The following patch fixes things for me, but others may want to tweak
it for esthetics.  It seems to pass /usr/src/regress/usr.bin/rtld
after the patch is applied as well.
