	* sysdeps/mach/hurd/dl-sysdep.c (_dl_sysdep_start): #if 0 out the
	magic memobj port arg parsing stuff.  Fix it someday when we are ready
	to really use it.
	(_dl_sysdep_output): New function, modified from _dl_sysdep_error.

	($(common-objpfx)libc.so): Only depend on libc.map if versioning
	is used.
	* extra-lib.mk ($(objpfx)$(lib).so): Only depend on version script
	if versioning is used.  Don't use $(wildcard) to find the
