linker: Make the errors reported by dlopen/dlsym be more useful.

Changed it so that when the linker generates error messages, they are
scribbled away into a buffer that dlfcn and friends can read from.

Since the error messages are generetad with snprintf, and snprintf
MAY call malloc during some code paths, we now link against a version
of libc that does not contain malloc/free/realloc/calloc. We then define
malloc and friends in the dynamic loader, and make them abort() if they
are ever called.
