Looks good to me too.  Thanks for doing this.  I think it should go
on the 2.22 branch as well.

Me neither, unfortunately.  But I agree it looks right.  There's a
possibility that we could create the dynamic sections before the
definition of __rld_obj_head has been read in (e.g. from the
check_relocs of a previous object).  In that case it looks like
we would create the .rld_map section and __rld_map/__RLD_MAP symbol,
then later switch to __rld_obj_head.  .rld_map would then be left
at zero size and the __rld_map/__RLD_MAP symbol would be ignored
when setting the tag value.  But your patch preserves the
behaviour in that case too.
