Re: "make check" failures on Linux/x86

The new dynamic_nent clarify the confusion caused by the two different meanings of dynamic_size.

	(get_32bit_dynamic_section): Set it.
	(get_64bit_dynamic_section): Here too.
	(process_dynamic_section): Use it instead of dynamic_size.
	(process_syminfo): Likewise.

However, there is still a problem. For some MIPS targets, e.g. IRIX5, the PT_DYNAMIC segment includes .dynstr, .dynsym, and .hash sections besides the .dynamic sections. The dynamic_size we get in process_program_headers () is the size of the whole PT_DYNAMIC segment of an executable file that has no section header table. In this case we cannot take the dynamic_size as the size of dynamic section. We need use the DT_NULL tag to determine the actual number of entries in the dynamic section.
