[patch] Don't set DT_HP_DEBUG_PRIVATE in solib-pa64.c


Hi,

The patch below implements my suggestion to not set DT_HP_DEBUG_PRIVATE
in solib-pa64.c as the user can do this with chatr (or pxdb).  Tested
on hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.11.

Ok?

Dave

	DT_HP_DEBUG_PRIVATE.  Add warning if DT_HP_DEBUG_PRIVATE is not set.
