Redesign the dynamic linking on ELF systems
This ticket is to follow up on my comment on #11042 (closed).
Let's give dynamic linking on ELF systems a second chance.
I propose the following steps:
- Collect required features
- Write up and discuss and agree on a specification
- Create regression tests for all features
- Design and implement a new dynamic linker for GHCi
- (optional) Make it work on Mac OS X too
