Ignore __stack_chk_fail* in the rtld mapfile computation [BZ #7065]
The previous commit prevented rtld itself from being built with -fstack-protector, but this is not quite enough. We identify which objects belong in rtld via a test link and analysis of the resulting mapfile. That link is necessarily done against objects that are stack-protected, so drags in __stack_chk_fail_local, __stack_chk_fail, and all the libc and libio code they use. To stop this happening, use --defsym in the test librtld.map-production link to force the linker to predefine these two symbols (to 0, but it could be to anything). (In a real link, this would of course be catastrophic, but these object files are never used for anything else.)
