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.

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).
