Subject: [PATCH] Properly set __libc_multiple_libcs
 
	* elf/rtld.c (_dl_starting_up): Always define.
	(dl_main): Always set _dl_starting_up.
	* elf/dl-support.c (_dl_starting_up): Always define.
	* elf/dl-init.c (_dl_init): Always clear _dl_starting_up.

This patch needs to go upstream to get cleaned up, but has always involed
analysis of the GNU/Hurd parts of the change and that stalled out, but
perhaps with build-many-glibcs we can now test these changes more easily.
