Before, native glibc and dynamic linker detection attempted to use the
executable's own binary if it was dynamically linked to answer both the
C ABI question and the dynamic linker question. However, this could be
problematic on a system that uses a RUNPATH for the compiler binary,
locking it to an older glibc version, while system binaries such as
/usr/bin/env use a newer glibc version. The problem is that libc.so.6
glibc version will match that of the system while the dynamic linker
will match that of the compiler binary. Executables with these versions
mismatching will fail to run.
Therefore, this commit changes the logic to be the same regardless of
whether the compiler binary is dynamically or statically linked. It
inspects `/usr/bin/env` as an ELF file to find the answer to these
questions, or if there is a shebang line, then it chases the referenced
file recursively. If that does not provide the answer, then the function
falls back to defaults.
This commit also solves a TODO to remove an Allocator parameter to the
detect() function.
