        <rdar://problem/4739044> ld64 should link mach_kernel during xnu builds to support dtrace
        * src/MachOReaderRelocatable.hpp: To handle duplicate labels properly, rework how atoms sizes are set 
                by iterating through sorted fAtoms rather than fAddrToAtom, . Change default alignment of commons
                to be the natural alignment of the size rounded up to the closest power of two and max it at 12.
                Build atoms in reverse symbol table order so that global atoms are constructed before locals.
                This assures that if there is a global and local label at the same location, the global label
                will become the atom's name and the local will be an alias.  Properly handle a label
                at the end of a section.  Handle R_ABS in relocations.  Handle sect-diff relocs with addends.
                Don't auto-strip 'l' symbols in static executables (mach_kernel).
