+	help
+	  Answer Y here to enable all the extra code needed to debug the uClibc
+	  native shared library loader.  The level of debugging noise that is
+	  generated depends on the LD_DEBUG environment variable...  Just set
+	  LD_DEBUG to something like: 'LD_DEBUG=token1,token2,..  prog' to
+	  debug your application.  Diagnostic messages will then be printed to
+	  the stderr.
+
+	  For now these debugging tokens are available:
+	    detail        provide more information for some options
+	    move          display copy processings
+	    symbols       display symbol table processing
+	    reloc         display relocation processing; detail shows the relocation patch
+	    nofixups      never fixes up jump relocations
+	    bindings      displays the resolve processing (function calls); detail shows the relocation patch
+	    all           Enable everything!
+
+	  The additional environment variable:
+	    LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT=file
+	  redirects the diagnostics to an output file created using
+	  the specified name and the process id as a suffix.
+
+	  An excellent start is simply:
+	    $ LD_DEBUG=binding,move,symbols,reloc,detail ./appname
+	  or to log everything to a file named 'logfile', try this
+	    $ LD_DEBUG=all LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT=logfile ./appname
+
+	  If you are doing development and want to debug uClibc's shared library
+	  loader, answer Y.  Mere mortals answer N.

+	  Answer Y here to if you find the uClibc shared library loader is
+	  crashing or otherwise not working very early on.  This is typical
+	  only when starting a new port when you havn't figured out how to
+	  properly get the values for argc, argv, environ, etc.  This method
+	  allows a degree of visibility into the very early shared library
+	  loader initialization process.  If you are doing development and want
+	  to debug the uClibc shared library loader early initialization,
+	  answer Y.  Mere mortals answer N.
