Commit Message

  In this case, use the link map of the dynamic loader itself as
a replacement.  This is more than just a hack: if we ever support
DT_RUNPATH/DT_RPATH for the dynamic loader, reporting it for
ld.so --help (without further command line arguments) would be the
right thing to do.

Fixes commit 332421312576bd7095e70589154af99b124dd2d1 ("elf: Always
set l in _dl_init_paths (bug 23462)").

Tested on i686-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu.

Can we avoid tst-rtld-help-2.out by grep $@ directly?

We could use &&, but that would make diagnosing test failures difficult
(as in: did --help fail, or grep?).  The separate test seemed the
easiest way.

Thanks,

Running "ld.so --help" itself is very straight forward.   When there
is foo.out, I
usually search for foo.

Sorry, I don't understand what your comment means in this context.
Would you please elaborate?

Thanks,

A single tst-rtld-help.out doesn't make diagnosing ld.so --help
failures difficult.
Multiple output files is confusing.

Shouldn't that create the target?

All mtrace tests do this.  However, I will submit a different patch with
just one target.

Thanks,

H.J. wants me to remove the separate target.  It will address this issue
as well.

Thanks,
