You asked to modify DT tags in ELF binaries, which is quite a complex 
operation.

I meant asking to reserve space so that we could modify using chrpath 
ourselves. Apple's ld has the option -headerpad_max_install_names so that 
the otool tool can change the install names. We want the same thing in 
ELF.
