Yep.  I'll check in my mods to dl-machine.h in a few minutes after I fix
this silly plt stub.

The plt stub looks like

1:	ldw	0(%r20),%r22
	bv	%r0(%r22)
	ldw	4(%r20),%r21
2:	b,l	1b,%r20
	depi	0,31,2,%r20
9:	.word 0xc0ffee
	.word 0xdeadbeef

with entry at label 2.  The idea here being that the linker can change the
plt stub without magic numbers in the dynamic linker needing to be
changed.  So we jump into the trampoline with r19 = reloc offset,
r20 = got-8, r21 = fixup ltp.
