commit 73b6e50a22dea9ae6144beaaa675d2ac62c281ca

    elf: Implement tail merging of strings in ldconfig
    
    This simplifies the string table construction in elf/cache.c
    because there is no more need to keep track of offsets explicitly;
    the string table implementation does this internally.
    
    This change slightly reduces the size of the cache on disk.  The
    file format does not change as a result.  The strings are
    null-terminated, without explicit length, so tail merging is
    transparent to readers.
