elfos.h gets most of them.  You'll need to spend some small
amount of effort tracking down the others.  You can do this
via cross-compiler and looking at output of -E -dM.

Dunno.  You can try discovering if the linker supports the
options in question.

Do not confuse DT_RPATH with DT_RUNPATH by mis-naming these
options.

Again, do not define this in the middle of the code.
