Mike Hommey 464da0f9c2 Bug 1077384 - Make libmozglue a pseudo-LD_PRELOAD on android. r=nfroyd
In order to avoid adding more dlsym overhead than there already is, resolve
symbols directly in the library containing the linker. (GetSymbolPtr is
essentially free ; dlsym makes the system linker compule a ElfHash itself,
and that's quite expensive to do on all symbols)

This also paves the way for direct symbol resolution in all system libraries.
