    sys/kern             imgact_elf.c 
  Log:
  If you merge this into -stable, please increment __FreeBSD_version
  in "src/sys/sys/param.h".
  
  Fix the ELF image activator so that it can handle dynamic linkers
  which are executables linked at a fixed address.  This improves
  compliance with the ABI spec, and it opens the door to possibly
  better dynamic linker performance in the future.  I've experimented
  a bit with a fixed-address dynamic linker, and it works fine.  But
  I don't have any measurements yet to determine whether it's
  worthwhile.
  
  Also, remove a few calculations that were never used for anything.
  
  I will increment __FreeBSD_version, since this adds a new capability
  to the kernel that the dynamic linker might some day rely upon.
