Some newer Linux distributions (Ubuntu ARM at least) use a new multiarch
directory organization, where dynamic linker is no longer in the hardcoded
path in our linker.
For example, Ubuntu 12.04 ARM hardfloat places its dynamic linker at
/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ld-linux.so.3
Ref: http://lackof.org/taggart/hacking/multiarch/
Also, to support Debian GNU/kFreeBSD as a FreeBSD variant, we need this capability, so it's part of issue 3533.
This CL add a new pragma (#pragma dynlinker "path") to cc.

Limitation: doesn't support thumb library yet.

This makes it possible to inline the prefetch of upcoming
memory addresses during garbage collection, instead of
needing to flush registers, make a function call, and
reload registers. On garbage collection-heavy workloads,
this results in a 5% speedup.
Fixes#3493.

The new logic is "use go1 if it's there, otherwise no tag."
Nothing needs to say "I require go1.0.1", and I want to
preserve some flexibility in defining what tags mean.
Right now (before go1.0.1) there is only one possible tag,
"go1", and I'd like to keep it that way.

As in:
const format = "%s"
fmt.Printf(format, "hi")
Also fix a couple of bugs by rewriting the routine.
