Added a requirement that a static linker must generate a PT_GNU_PROPERTY program header for an executable or shared-library that contains program properties. The linux kernel and glibc are currently relying on the program header to find the program properties and are not attempting to search through the consolidated notes section (PT_NOTE) program header if it isn't present. fixes: ARM-software#299
