cache for symbol lookup



Since Jakub's patch for sorting of relocations in binutils has been
approved, I've updated his patch for caching symbol lookup.

Ok to commit?

Andreas

2001-08-23  Jakub Jelinek <jakub@redhat.com>

	* elf/dl-lookup.c (_dl_lookup_symbol): Lookup relocations in cache
	and store successfull lookups in cache.
	(_dl_lookup_versioned_symbol): Likewise.

	* elf/dl-reloc.c (_dl_relocate_object): Initialize cache for
	relocation lookup.

	* elf/rtld.c (print_statistics): Output _dl_num_cache_relocations.

	* sysdeps/generic/ldsodefs.h: Define lookup_cache for holding
	symbol cache entries.
