[PATCH 1/3] binfmt_elf_fdpic: Support auxvec base platform string.

2008-08-06T10:35:41Z

Commit 483fad1c3fa1060d7e6710e84a065ad514571739 introduces
AT_BASE_PLATFORM, but only implements it for binfmt_elf. Given that
AT_VECTOR_SIZE_BASE is unconditionally enlarged for us, and it's only
optionally added in for the platforms that set ELF_BASE_PLATFORM, wire
it up for binfmt_elf_fdpic, too.
