Bug 5996

This has security implications too. Surely Gingerbreak and its attack on the PLT has not been forgotten??? (The PLT was used as a jumping off point or trampoline).

The trade off (microsecond for the early bind) versus wiping out an entire class of vulnerabilities seems like a win.

  | This tells the linker to resolve all symbols when the library is        │  
  │ first loaded, rather than when each function is first called.  This     │  
  │ increases start-up latency by a few microseconds and may do             │  
  │ unnecessary work (resolving symbols that are never used), but the       │  
  │ realtime people like it for making microbenchmark timings slightly      │  
  │ more predictable and in some cases it can be slightly faster due to     │  
  │ CPU cache behavior (not having to fault the linker back in to do        │  
  │ lazy symbol resolution).
