elf: work around a gcc bug in elf_get_dynamic_info
Since commit 2f056e8a "aarch64: define PI_STATIC_AND_HIDDEN", building glibc with gcc-8 on aarch64 fails with /BLD/elf/librtld.os: in function `elf_get_dynamic_info': /SRC/elf/get-dynamic-info.h:70:(.text+0xad8): relocation truncated to fit: R_AARCH64_ADR_PREL_PG_HI21 against symbol `_rtld_local' defined in .data section in /BLD/elf/librtld.os This is a gcc bug: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98618 The bug is fixed on gcc-10 and not yet backported. gcc-9 is affected, but the issue happens to not trigger in glibc, gcc-8 and older seems to miscompile rtld.os. Rewriting the affected code in elf_get_dynamic_info seems to make the issue go away on <= gcc-9. The change makes the logic a bit clearer too (by separating the index computation and array update) and drops an older gcc workaround (since gcc 4.6 is no longer supported).
