using elfdump in check-shlibs
As part of the work relieving tools/tools.SunOS.mk of non native Gnu tools,
I've been using lately elfdump in check-shlibs-elf.mk instead of solely greadelf.
http://www.netbsd.org/~richard/elfdump-in-check-shlibs.diff
I'm curious if there are platforms other than SunOS which may find this useful.
With this patch, if TOOLS_PLATFORM.elfdump is defined, the it is preferred,
else the previous defaults work as would be expected.
Also, greadelf is no longer added to USE_TOOLS, which seemed to be arbitrarily
ignored for various reasons.
With recent binutils, greadelf is particularly long-winded (which may be a bug),
so consequently this speeds things up a bit.
would be nice to get this in prior to the freeze.
