Log Message:
devel/binutils: Change default behavior of gold for NetBSD & OpenBSD

The Gold linker defaults to the use of --new-dtags which uses DT_RUNPATH
instead of DT_RPATH.  In previous version of binutils, --new-dtags would
write set both DT_RUNPATH and DT_PATH, but not anymore.  The problem is
that neither NetBSD nor OpenBSD runtime linkers properly handle it
AFAICT.  Use macros to make DT_RPATH get set when -rpath switch is used
so that linked libraries can get found on these platforms.

Similarly, it appears that DT_INIT_ARRAY tags are also not handled by
rtld, so don't use these tags by default otherwise C++ will not link
on these platforms.

The copy-as-needed attribute has been left at its binutils default of
--no-copy-dt-needed.  This has been the default since binutils 2.22.
