populate: fix installing dynamic linker 'ld.so'

The dynamic linker, ld.so, needs the execute bit to be set.
Detect tht the library being installed is in fact ld.so and
install it with 0755 instead of 0644.

Fix detecting src == dst.

Use a simpler command to copy src -> dst.

Also change echo to printf, get rid of 'echo -n', which is
highly non-portable.

     1 I would like to thank these fine people for making crosstool-NG possible:
     2 
     3   Dan KEGEL, the original author of crosstool: http://www.kegel.com/
     4     Dan was very helpfull and willing to help when I build my first toolchains.
     5     I owe him one. Thank you Dan!
     6     Some crosstool-NG scripts have code snippets coming almost as-is from the
     7     original work by Dan.
     8 
     9 And in order of appearance on the crossgcc ML:
    10 
    11   Allan CLARK for his investigations on building toolchains on MacOS-X.
    12     Allan made extensive tests of the first alpha of crosstool-NG on his
    13     MacOS-X, and unveiled some bash-2.05 weirdness.
