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).
