      On x86 FreeBSD and Linux, change the way foreign symbol addresses are resolved.
      They now go through a table -- effectively a new space in the core file.
      Function references are resolved lazily, data references are resolved on startup
      and when a .so is loaded.  The end result is that cores can be dumped that
      contain references to symbols in shared libraries.  Also, the dependence of the core on addresses in the Lisp runtime is broken.
      
      The linkage table feature is controlled by :linkage-table and LINKAGE_TABLE in C
      runtime.  Several foreign symbols are now Lisp static symbols, so a cross
      compile is required whether or not the new stuff is used.  I've checked in
      boot4-cross-foreign-linkage.lisp that builds the compiler for linkage table; do whatever you usually do for the non-linkage table case:)  Seriously, lets start
      a discussion on standardizing "cross compilation," not to mention the general
      build procedure.

      common binaries to be run on both:
      
      * The immediate-stack storage class has been removed, this is
      unnecessary as the descriptor-stack SC can be used. It may have once
      been part of some GC stragety to reduce the number of stack slots that
      needed to be noted for a GC.
      
      * The object allocation has been abstracted and cleaned up. This
      should produce slightly faster smaller code with CGC, and can be
      compiled to support inline allocation with GENCGC.  CGC compiled code
      will run under GENCGC, and GENCGC binaries that don't use inline
      allocation will run under CGC.
      
      * A random hash is now placed in the unused symbol object slot (the
      symbol-hash slot). This saves flushing the info cache at each GC, and
      may have other uses for symbol based hash tables. Should help MP
      safety.
      
      * Common set of static symbols used by both CGC and GENCGC.
      
      * Corrections to the stack-ref VOP; now returns lisp objects not
      unsigned numbers. Required some patches to debug-int.
      
      * Inline unsigned/signed byte 32 to bignum allocation enabled.
      
      * Support for the x86 xadd instruction applied to instance slot and
      symbol values - may be handy for some MP code.
      
      * Bump up the FASL file version from 1 to 2.
