    elf: Add endianness markup to ld.so.cache (bug 27008)
    
    Use a reserved byte in the new format cache header to indicate whether
    the file is in little endian or big endian format.  Eventually, this
    information could be used to provide a unified cache for qemu-user
    and similiar scenarios.
