This patch processes linker script assignment statements before ld
opens DT_NEEDED libraries, in order to define symbols like __bss_start
that might also be defined by a library, falsely triggering an error
about "DSO missing from command line".
The initial value won't be correct when assigning a symbol from dot,
and I make no attempt to handle all expressions. For example, an
assignment like "_start_foo = ADDR (.foo)" isn't valid until sections
are laid out, so won't define _start_foo early. What's here should be
enough for most common scripts, and hopefully won't perturb fragile
scripts.
