 Add large memory support to libdl. Some architectures use small relative
 offsets with smaller instructions for performance reasons. Object files
 loaded at addresses that are outside the relative range require trampoline
 calls that bridge the instruction in the object to the target symbol. The
 mechanism used depends on the archives.

 Libdl requires generic support to parse the relocation record before the
 object file allocation to provide the memory to hold the trampoline calls.

 The ARM and PowerPC architectures require trampolines. This is called
 veneers on ARM.
