[PATCH: roland/dl_fatal] nix local dl_local function


[This change is on the branch roland/dl_fatal.  I again encourage
everybody sending a patch for review always to push a private git
branch in addition to posting the patch.  It's by far the simplest
way for someone else to test your code.  I think the shorthand I
used in the subject of this message is a good way to succinctly say
what you've done without spending extra verbiage in the message.]

This -Wformat warning has been bugging me for a while, and I finally
decided to do something about it.  When I did, I noticed that we have
a) generic code referring to a private function defined in an OS-specific
file and b) a private function doing almost exactly what an existing
general-purpose function does.

The only material difference is that _dl_fatal_printf exits with 127
rather than 1, which IMHO seems like an improvement for this case.

No regressions on x86_64-linux-gnu.


Thanks,
Roland

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/dl-osinfo.h (dl_fatal): Function removed.
	* elf/rtld.c (dl_main) [DL_SYSDEP_OSCHECK]:
	Use _dl_fatal_printf instead.
