Initial checkin for ld.so. This is a combination of effort from Manuel Novoa
III and me. I've been working on stripping out arch dependant stuff and replacing it with generic stuff whenever possible. -Erik

+*********************************************************************
+
+This package contains my ELF dynamic linkers (ld-linux.so.1), dynamic
+linker library (libdl.so.1) and utilities (ldconfig and ldd) for Linux.
+
+You need Linux kernel 2.0.0 or later with ELF support compiled in
+(i.e. not loaded as a module) to use this package.
+
+The dynamic linker is used to bootstrap programs and load shared
+libraries at startup. The dynamic linker library is used to
+dynamically load shared libraries after a program is running.
+Ldconfig is used to automatically update the symbolic links to shared
+libraries and build the cache file used by the dynamic linker. Ldd is
+used to list the shared libraries used by a program.
+
+Please see the included manual pages for further details.
+
+To install, simply run "sh instldso.sh" as root. Ready-to-go versions
+of all end-products are provided so nothing should need to be compiled
+or linked. If you are still using libc5 as your primary development
+library, you should use the "--devfiles" option when running
+instldso.sh to install the file needed to compile with libdl.
+
+ELF versions of gcc, binutils and libc are now required to compile
+everything, including the old, unsupported, a.out dynamic linker.
+Finally, an optimization level of O2 or higher must be used to compile
+ld-linux.so and libdl.so due the use of inline functions.
+
+Notable contributors to this package include Eric Youngdale, Peter
+MacDonald, Hongjiu Lu, Linus Torvalds, Lars Wirzenius, Mitch D'Souza,
+Rik Faith, Andreas Schwab and Adam Richter (not necessarily in that
+order).
+
+###################### IMPORTANT NOTICES #############################
+
+A.OUT SUPPORT:
+
+As of ld.so-1.9.0, the old, a.out dynamic loader is no longer
+officially supported. The code is still included and built, but I
+make no promises that it will work. I will accept patches for it,
+but they will not be tested by me.
+
+GLIBC (AKA LIBC6) SUPPORT:
+
+As of ld.so-1.9.0, the main focus of this package is to ease the
+transition to libc6. No significant, new features are expected to be
+added. If you need new features, switch to libc6.
+
+Except for libpthread.so, the sonames of the core libraries provided
+with libc6 have been chosen so they do not conflict with those
+provided by libc5 and ld.so. However, the current plan is not use
+new, nonconflicting sonames for other libraries such as ncurses and
+X11. This presents two problems. First, libraries using the same
+soname for both libc5 and libc6 can not be placed in the same
+directory. Second, the dynamic linkers need to make sure not to load
+a library for the wrong version of libc.
+
+The first problem is easy. Just move the old, libc5-based libraries
+to new directories (e.g. /lib/libc5-compat, /usr/lib/libc5-compat,
+etc.) and add those directories to /etc/ld.so.conf. Then install the
+new, libc6-based versions in the standard places.
+
+The second problem is more difficult. Ideally, the dynamic linkers
+would be changed to perform a complete dependency analysis on every
+library to be loaded to make sure the wrong versions aren't used.
+This approach doesn't seem worth the added complexity, especially
+since we now have symbol versioning for ELF libraries. Instead a
+simpler approach will be used, at least initially.
+
+Ldconfig has been modified to perform a (currently simple) dependency
+analysis on libraries and to store an indication in /etc/ld.so.cache
+of whether a library is for libc5, libc6 or an unknown libc. The
+dynamic linkers then only need to make a simple check at run-time to
+make sure they don't load the wrong version of a library.
+
+The dynamic linker for libc5 provided in this package, has already
+been modified to use the new information in /etc/ld.so.cache. For
+glibc versions 2.0.1 and earlier, the dynamic linker for libc6 needs
+the patch contained in glibc.patch. You should apply the patch and
+rebuild glibc before using the new ldconfig.
+
+As stated above, the dependency analysis currently done by ldconfig is
+rather simple. Basically, it looks for the sonames used by the
+various versions of libc, libm and libdl. For any approach using a
+dependency analysis such as this to work, it is very important that
+shared libraries be built with complete dependency information. This
+can be done by using the appropriate -l options when running 'gcc
+-shared'. For example, when building libfoo.so which depends on libc
+and libbar, you should add -lbar and -lc gcc command line.
+

+
+Changes in version 1.9.11:
+
+ Fixed a bug in ld-linux.so where a reference to an
+ undefined symbol could cause a segfault.
+
+ Added a clarification for LD_PRELOAD to the ld.so manual
+ page and added a symlink for ld-linux.so (Bug#33123).
+
+ Don't install ldd for Debian except for the m68k arch
+ because glibc 2.1 now includes it (Bug#35458).
+
+Changes in version 1.9.10:
+
+ Changed ldconfig to issue a warning and not overwrite a
+ regular file with a symlink (Bug#30859).
+
+ Changed Debian packaging to conflict with and replace the
+ ldconfig package (Bug#29398).
+
+Changes in version 1.9.9:
+
+ Changed ld-linux.so and libdl.so to match glibc by not
+ allowing user preloads of system libraries into setu/gid
+ binaries unless the library itself is setuid.
+
+ Fixed problems in ld-linux.so on the sparc architecture
+ (Juan Cespedes).
+
+Changes in version 1.9.8:
+
+ Changed ldconfig to allow the expected type for all
+ libraries in a directory to be optionally specified
+ (Mark Phillips). See the ldconfig man page.

+ change above when the -p option is used.
+
+Changes in version 1.9.7:

+
+ Fixed a bug in ldconfig when the -l option was used on a
+ filename without a '/' in it.
+
+ Updated the man pages (Bug#6404, Bug#9721, Bug#10652,
+ Bug#13494 and Bug#14127). They could still use some work.
+
+ No longer install the info page since it's way out of date.
+
+ Fixed minor Debian packaging problems (Bug#13160,
+ Bug#15577 and Bug#19345).

+
+ Changed ld-linux.so to be compilable with gcc 2.8.0 (Sven
+ Verdoolaege)
+

+ correctly when run on shared libraries.
+
+ Fixed a problem in the previous version where some
+ Makefiles were not architecture independent.
+
+Changes in version 1.9.4:
+
+ Fixed a bug in ld.so introduced in the previous version
+ which broke preloads.
+
+ Turned a.out support back on by default, at least for the
+ time being. There are no promises to keep it.
+
+Changes in version 1.9.3:
+
+ Fixed buffer overflow bugs in ld-linux.so and ld.so.
+
+ Changed the README file a little to clarify a couple of
+ things.
+
+ Changed ldconfig to chroot to the specified directory when
+ the new -r option is used (Bob Tinsley).
+
+Changes in version 1.9.2:
+
+ Removed /usr/local/lib from the default /etc/ld.so.conf
+ for Debian (Bug#8181).
+
+ Changed ldconfig to be 64-bit clean (H.J. Lu).
+
+Changes in version 1.9.1:
+
+ Changed ldconfig to try to determine which libc a
+ library is for even if it doesn't have an soname.
+
+ Fixed a bug in ldconfig where an older library using
+ the glibc naming convention would be used instead of
+ a newer library.
+
+ Changed to ld-linux.so and libdl.so to not require the

+ which conflict with glibc in a new libdl1-dev package.
+
+ Changed ldd to use the glibc dynamic linker, if it is
+ available, when run on a shared library.
+
+ Changed ld-linux.so to print the load addresses of
+ libraries, ala glibc, when run by ldd.
+
+ Changed ld-linux.so to allow the libraries listed in
+ LD_PRELOAD to be separated by white space in addition to
+ colons.
+
+ Changed ld-linux.so to load the libraries listed in
+ LD_PRELOAD for setu/gid programs as long as they can be
+ loaded securely.
+
+ Changed ldconfig to update the symlinks for the dynamic
+ linkers.
+
+ Changed ldconfig to try to determine if an ELF library is
+ intended for libc5 or libc6 and save the infomation in the
+ cache. The mechanism used is rather simplistic and may
+ need to be enhanced.
+
+ Changed ldconfig to print the type of ELF library when
+ printing the cache.
+
+ Changed ld-linux.so to only load ELF shared libraries for
+ use with libc5 or an unknown libc.

+ instead of a regular file.
+
+ Fixed a Debian packaging problem for the sparc
+ architecture.
+
+Changes in version 1.8.9:
+
+ Changed ldconfig to only cache the symlinks it creates.
+ This make the behavior of the dynamic linkers consistent

+ Changed ldconfig to cache the symlinks that it finds but
+ use the name of the symlink as the soname instead of the
+ actual soname.

+
+ Minor documentation updates to reflect recent changes.
+
+ Changed ld.so and ld-linux.so to perform more complete
+ validation on ld.so.cache before using it.
+
+ Changed ldconfig to accept libraries with inconsistent
+ sonames since glibc is going to use them. A warning is
+ still printed in debug mode.
+
+ Changed the install script to not strip _dl_debug_state
+ from ld-linux.so since gdb needs it.
+
+ More sparc fixes (Derrick Brashear).
+
+ Changed ldconfig to not issue a warning when a linker
+ script disguised as a shared library is found.
+
+ Fixed a bug in ld-linux.so where some registers were
+ not preserved on the first call to a function causing
+ problems for non-C-like languages (Tim Renouf).
+
+ Fixed a bug in ld-linux.so where global variables were
+ not always mapped correctly across dynamically loaded
+ libraries (Mikihiko Nakao).
+
+ Converted to new Debian source packaging format (Shaya
+ Potter).
+
+Changes in version 1.8.6/7:
+
+ Never released as some unofficial patches used these
+ version numbers.
+
+Changes in version 1.8.5:

+ inconsistent soname in non-verbose mode.
+
+ Changed ld-linux.so back to not keep ld.so.cache mapped
+ at all times.
+
+ Changed Debian packaging to compress man pages, strip all
+ binaries (Bug#5125) and include a shlibs file.
+
+Changes in version 1.8.3:
+
+ Changed ld-linux.so to process LD_PRELOAD before
+ /etc/ld.so.preload.
+
+ Fixed a Debian packaging problem where libdl might not
+ be available if other packages were upgraded at the same
+ time (Debian Bug#4728).
+

+ occur (Debian Bug#4188).
+
+ Fixed some minor problems in instldso.sh (Mike Castle and
+ Wolfgang Franke).
+
+ Changed ldconfig to issue a warning in verbose mode when
+ skipping a library because the soname doesn't match.
+
+ More sparc fixes (Miguel de Icaza).
+
+ Don't link with -N when building ld.so (Alan Modra).
+
+ Changed ld-linux.so to better support position-dependant
+ libraries (NIIBE Yutaka).
+
+Changes in version 1.8.2:
+
+ Added a texinfo file for ld.so and libdl (Michael
+ Deutschmann).
+
+ Minor sparc and installation changes (Elliot Lee).
+
+ Added multiple architecture support for Debian (Leland
+ Lucius).
+
+ Changed libdl to better support RTLD_NEXT (Eric
+ Youngdale). Note: the exact meaning of ETLD_NEXT is
+ still not clear in all cases.
+
+ Removed some libc dependencies from libdl. Still need
+ to remove malloc and free.
+
+Changes in version 1.8.1:
+
+ Changed ld.so to be compiled as ELF. This also means
+ that ELF support is now required. A.out support is
+ still optional.
+
+ Changed ld-linux.so and libdl.so to use the rpath in the
+ executable instead of in the invoking shared library.
+
+ More m68k fixes (Andreas Schwab).
+
+ Various sparc fixes (Miguel de Icaza).
+
+ Changed ldcnnfig to ignore libraries ending in '~'.
+
+ Changed ldconfig to allow alternative conf and cache
+ files to be specified on the command-line.
+
+ Changed libdl.so to work when dlsym is passed a NULL
+ handle pointer.
+
+Changes in version 1.8.0:
+
+ Changed ld-linux.so to be more liberal when checking to
+ see if a library is already loaded. This should avoid
+ the duplicate loading problem for programs linkeed with
+ the -rpath option.
+
+ Various m68k fixes (Andreas Schwab).
+
+ Changed ld.so to only use LD_AOUT_LIBRARY_PATH and
+ LD_AOUT_PRELOAD and ld-linux.so to only use
+ LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_PRELOAD. LD_ELF_LIBRARY_PATH
+ and LD_ELF_PRELOAD are no longer supported.
+
+ Changed ld-linux.so to allow debugging of shared and
+ dynamically loaded libraries (H.J. Lu, Andreas Schwab).
+
+ Changed ld-linux.so to preload ELF shared libraries
+ listed in /etc/ld.so.preload. This allows secure
+ preloads, even for setuid/setgid programs.
+
+ Changed ld-linux.so to keep ld.so.cache mapped at all
+ times.
+
+ Changed ldconfig to allow #-style comments in ld.so.conf.
+
+ Removed various compiler warnings (Richard Sladkey and
+ David Engel).
+
+ Changed ldd to work on ELF shared libraries. This may
+ need a little more work.
+
+Changes in version 1.7.14:
+
+ Changed ldconfig to recognize ELF shared libraries
+ generated by post-2.6 versions of ld (Andreas Schwab).
+
+ Changed ldconfig to not remove stale links that do not
+ have a version number since they may be needed by ld.
+
+Changes in version 1.7.13:
+
+ Fixed a problem in ld-linux.so where a program linked
+ with a shared library that was not used could result in
+ a segmentation fault (H.J. Lu).
+
+Changes in version 1.7.12:
+
+ Fixed a problem in libdl.so where the wrong library
+ could be marked as global when RTLD_GLOBAL was used
+ (Lars Heete).
+
+ Installed dlfcn.h with libdl.so instead of requiring
+ it to be supplied with libc.
+
+ Removed support for libldso.a since it was nearly
+ impossible to use anyway.
+
+ Changed ldd to detect when the program being checked
+ exited abnormally.
+
+Changes in version 1.7.11:
+
