elementary: build elementary_test additionally as shared object

For our exactness testing we are dlopen() the elementary_test
executable. Until glibc 2.30 this was posible with -pie, but it changed
in the glibc version. They no longer allow these executables to be
dlopen()'ed.

As a workaround for now we are building elementary_test also as a shared
object file which we load and use in the exactness testing process.

The code came from Marcel Hollerbach and I only tested it and fixed up a
small detail.
