[issue17362] enable-new-dtags only for GNU ELF linker

[Roumen Petrov]

New submission from Roumen Petrov:

GNU binutils properly document that flag --enable-new-dtags is only available 
on ELF systems.
I would like to propose a simple hack to avoid activation if ELF is not listed 
in supported emulations.

Comments in unixccompiler.py are not precise : "# GNU ld needs an extra option 
to get a RUNPATH ..", i.e. ELF is missing. 

Also GNULD is not correct name for flag. What about to change to GNUELFLD ?

You could test on cygwin for instance.
