dynrelro section for read-only dynamic symbols copied into executable

Variables defined in shared libraries are copied into an executable's
.bss section when code in the executable is non-PIC and thus would
require dynamic text relocations to access the variable directly in
the shared library.  Recent x86 toolchains also copy variables into
the executable to gain a small speed improvement.

The problem is that if the variable was originally read-only, the copy
in .bss is writable, potentially opening a security hole.  This patch
cures that problem by putting the copy in a section that becomes
read-only after ld.so relocation, provided -z relro is in force.

The patch also fixes a microblaze linker segfault on attempting to
use dynamic bss variables.
