Hello,

I managed to get ldso (and thus shared linking to uClibc) to work on
sparc (actually sparc64 kernel with 32-bit userspace), at least on
simple "hello world" program (more complex ones not tested).

Some notes on attached patch (against 0.9.26, would require some work
to apply on current CVS - but I tested 0.9.26, not CVS):

- ELF magic cannot be examined by _dl_strncmp so early, probably because of
  string constant, like on ppc/mips/sh
  (note that early SEND_STDERR still crashes when trying to do _dl_strlen
   - I suppose that string constants require relocation; but adding
   load_addr didn't help, just ELF header was displayed instead of crash)
- mmap() is syscall6 like on ppc/mips/sh, not old i386 mmap()
- for generic sparc (i.e. not sparcv8/sparcv9) gcc produces .udiv/.urem
  calls for unsigned integer / and % operators - so these operations
  must be avoided. I copied do_rem definition from arm header.
  But / and % are used also in _dl_simple_ltoa() and
  _dl_simple_ltoahex(); in ltoahex gcc optimizes it to shifts (but
  I think it's safer to use shifts explicitly, not rely on
  optimization...).
  I changed % in ltoa to do_rem, but as there was no do_div definition,
  I changed all "%d" specifiers to "%x" to avoid crashes (this changes
  wouldn't be needed if _dl_simple_ltoa() were fixed to not use
  division on sparc).
- "#define SOLARIS_COMPATIBLE" in ld_sysdep.h broke ldso on Linux
  because of redefining _dl_linux_resolve only in some places (it was
  still referenced in INIT_GOT before redefinition). So
  _dl_linux_resolve redefinition should be moved before INIT_GOT
  definition or removed.
- sparc64 kernel requires mmap() addresses to be aligned to 8192, not
  4096, otherwise mmap() call failed
- reloc_entry must be shifted by 10, not 12 (I found similar operation
  in glibc sources)

Aside of sparc-specific fixes:
- I moved some _dl_dprintf()s inside if(_dl_debug_*) conditions (to avoid
  debugging messages when LD_DEBUG is not defined)
- it seems that there was possible off-by-one in ltoa and ltoahex?
  they are called with char[22] as 1st argument, and then '\0' is stored
  in local[22] (_before_ p decrementation)... or am I missing something?
  If not, fix is included in patch.
