[PATCH] Don't die on unknown dynamic tags

[Jakub Jelinek]

Hi!

It seems like some distributions ship glibc not compiled with -DNDEBUG,
and as there is an assert on unknown dynamic tags, statically linked
programs against such glibc which do dlopen/nss die on any prelinked
libraries or libraries with some other dynamic tags not known to
such older glibc. IMHO glibc just shouldn't worry about dynamic tags
it knows nothing about, otherwise we are stuck with current set of dynamic
tags and cannot add a new one ever.

	dynamic tags.
