The only information is whether the module uses a static model. So we
are able to distinguish *-dynamic from *-exec models. Nevertheless, I
still don't see how the runtime loader can distinguish local-dynamic
and global-dynamic: when it goes through the relocations, it only sees
*DTPMOD32 which is common for both models.
