tag in the dynamic section (==> objdump).
All your libraries must be compiled with -fPIC or -fpic, and all

dynamic linker which is stored in the .interp section of the program
is executed) or directly by running:
/lib/ld-uClibc.so.* [OPTIONS] [PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS]]

loaded shared objects when a process exits, which prevents Valgrind
from correctly resolving the symbols from the unloaded shared objects.

If you wish to build uClibc with support for global constructor

When ctor/dtor support is enabled, binaries linked with uClibc must
also be linked with crtbegin.o and crtend.o which are provided by gcc
(the "*startfile:" and "*endfile:" settings in your gcc specs file
may need to be adjusted to include these files). This support will
also add a small amount of additional size to each binary compiled vs
uClibc. If you will be using uClibc with C++, or if you need the gcc
__attribute__((constructor)) and __attribute__((destructor)) to work,
then you definitely want to answer Y here. If you don't need ctors
or dtors and want your binaries to be as small as possible, then
answer N.
config LDSO_GNU_HASH_SUPPORT
bool "Enable GNU hash style support"
depends on HAVE_SHARED
help
Newest binutils support a new hash style named GNU-hash. The dynamic
linker will use the new GNU-hash section (.gnu.hash) for symbol lookup
if present into the ELF binaries, otherwise it will use the old SysV
hash style (.hash). This ensures that it is completely backward
compatible.
Further, being the hash table implementation self-contained into each
executable and shared libraries, objects with mixed hash style can
peacefully coexist in the same process.
If you want to use this new feature, answer Y

named libthread_db will be built. This library will be dlopen()'d
by gdb and will allow gdb to debug the threads in your application.
IMPORTANT NOTE! Because gdb must dlopen() the libthread_db library,

config MALLOC
bool "malloc"
help
"malloc" use mmap for all allocations and so works very well on
MMU-less systems that do not support the brk() system call. It is
pretty smart about reusing already allocated memory, and minimizing
memory wastage.
This is the default for uClinux MMU-less systems.
config MALLOC_SIMPLE
bool "malloc-simple"
help
"malloc-simple" is trivially simple and slow as molasses. It
was written from scratch for uClibc, and is the simplest possible
(and therefore smallest) malloc implementation.
This uses only the mmap() system call to allocate and free memory,
and does not use the brk() system call at all, making it a fine
choice for MMU-less systems with very limited memory. It's 100%
standards compliant, thread safe, very small, and releases freed
memory back to the OS immediately rather than keeping it in the
process's heap for reallocation. It is also VERY SLOW.
config MALLOC_STANDARD
bool "malloc-standard"
depends on ARCH_USE_MMU
help
"malloc-standard" is derived from the public domain dlmalloc
implementation by Doug Lea. It is quite fast, and is pretty smart
about reusing already allocated memory, and minimizing memory
wastage. This uses brk() for small allocations, while using mmap()
for larger allocations. This is the default malloc implementation
for uClibc.
If unsure, answer "malloc-standard".

config MALLOC_GLIBC_COMPAT
bool "Malloc returns live pointer for malloc(0)"
help
The behavior of malloc(0) is listed as implementation-defined by
SuSv3. Glibc returns a valid pointer to something, while uClibc
normally returns NULL. I personally feel glibc's behavior is
not particularly safe, and allows buggy applications to hide very
serious problems.
When this option is enabled, uClibc will act just like glibc, and
return a live pointer when someone calls malloc(0). This pointer
provides a malloc'ed area with a size of 1 byte. This feature is
mostly useful when dealing with applications using autoconf's broken
AC_FUNC_MALLOC macro (which redefines malloc as rpl_malloc if it
does not detect glibc style returning-a-valid-pointer-for-malloc(0)
behavior). Most people can safely answer N.
config UCLIBC_HAS_OBSTACK
bool "Obstack Support (gnu extension)"
help
When this option is enabled, uClibc will provide support for obstacks.
An obstack is a structure in which memory can be dynamically allocated
as a 'stack of objects'. Many programs need this GNU extention and
you should say Y if you are using any. Otherwise, say N to save some
space.
config UCLIBC_DYNAMIC_ATEXIT
bool "Dynamic atexit() Support"
default y
help
When this option is enabled, uClibc will support an infinite number,
of atexit() and on_exit() functions, limited only by your available
memory. This can be important when uClibc is used with C++, since
global destructors are implemented via atexit(), and it is quite
possible to exceed the default number when this option is disabled.
Enabling this option adds a few bytes, and more significantly makes
atexit and on_exit depend on malloc, which can be bad when compiling
static executables.
Unless you use uClibc with C++, you should probably answer N.
config COMPAT_ATEXIT

the zoneinfo directory tree or the /etc/timezone file used by glibc.
With this option enabled, uClibc will use the value stored in the
file '/etc/TZ' (default path) to obtain timezone information if the
'TZ' environment variable is missing or has an invalid value. The
file consists of a single line (newline required) of text describing
the timezone in the format specified for the TZ environment variable.

There are two versions of regex. The older (stable) version has
been in uClibc for quite a long time but hasn't seen too many
updates. It also has some known issues when dealing with uncommon
corner cases and multibyte/unicode strings. However, it is quite
a bit smaller than the newer version.
If the older version has worked for you and you don't need unicode

This value is used by the 'make install' Makefile target. Since this

config HARDWIRED_ABSPATH
bool "Hardwire absolute paths into linker scripts"
default y
help
This prepends absolute paths to the libraries mentioned in linker
scripts such as libc.so.
This is a build time optimization. It has no impact on dynamic
linking at runtime, which doesn't use linker scripts.
You must disable this to use uClibc with old non-sysroot toolchains,
such as the prebuilt binary cross compilers at:
http://uclibc.org/downloads/binaries
The amount of time saved by this optimization is actually too small to
measure. The linker just had to search the library path to find the
linker script, so the dentries are cache hot if it has to search the
same path again. But it's what glibc does, so we do it too.

config UCLIBC_HAS_ARC4RANDOM

Answer Y to support the OpenBSD-like arc4random() function. This
function picks a random number between 0 and N, and will always return
something even if the random driver is dead. If urandom fails then
gettimeofday(2) will be used as the random seed. This function is
designed to be more dependable than invoking /dev/urandom directly.
OpenSSL and OpenNTPD currently support this function.

Add code to support GCC's -fstack-protector[-all] option to uClibc.
This requires GCC 4.1 or newer. GCC does not have to provide libssp,
the needed functions are added to ldso/libc instead.
GCC's stack protector is a reimplementation of IBM's propolice.
See http://www.trl.ibm.com/projects/security/ssp/ and
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/ssp.txt

help
Build all libraries and executables with "ld -z relro".
This tells the linker to mark chunks of an executable or shared
library read-only after applying dynamic relocations. (This comes
up when a global const variable is initialized to the address of a
function or the value of another global variable.)
This is a fairly obscure option the ld man page doesn't even bother
to document properly. It's a security paranoia issue that's more
likely to consume memory (by allocating an extra page) rather than
save it.
This is explained in more depth at

Nobody is likely to care whether you say Y or N here.
config UCLIBC_BUILD_NOW
bool "Build uClibc with linker option -z NOW"
depends on HAVE_SHARED
help
Build all libraries and executables with "ld -z now".
This tells the linker to resolve all symbols when the library is
first loaded, rather than when each function is first called. This
increases start-up latency by a few microseconds and may do
unnecessary work (resolving symbols that are never used), but the
realtime people like it for making microbenchmark timings slightly
more predictable and in some cases it can be slightly faster due to
CPU cache behavior (not having to fault the linker back in to do
lazy symbol resolution).
Most people can't tell the difference between selecting Y or N here.
config UCLIBC_BUILD_NOEXECSTACK
bool "Build uClibc with noexecstack marking"
default y
help
Mark all assembler files as noexecstack, which will mark uClibc
as not requiring an executable stack. (This doesn't prevent other
files you link against from claiming to need an executable stack, it
just won't cause uClibc to request it unnecessarily.)
This is a security thing to make buffer overflows harder to exploit.
By itself, it's kind of useless, as Linus Torvalds explained in 1998:
http://old.lwn.net/1998/0806/a/linus-noexec.html
It only actually provides any security when combined with address
space randomization, explained here: http://lwn.net/Articles/121845/
Address space randomization is on by default in current linux
kernels (although it can be disabled using the option
CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK).

config SUPPORT_LD_DEBUG
bool "Build the shared library loader with debugging support"
depends on HAVE_SHARED
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 processing
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

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 haven'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

answer Y. Mere mortals answer N.
config UCLIBC_MALLOC_DEBUGGING

Answer Y here to compile extra debugging support code into malloc.
Malloc debugging output may then be enabled at runtime using the

The value of MALLOC_DEBUG should be an integer, which is interpreted

1 - do extra consistency checking
2 - output messages for malloc/free calls and OS
allocation calls
4 - output messages for the `MMB' layer
8 - output messages for internal malloc heap manipulation

provides the following new functions:
backtrace, backtrace_symbols, backtrace_symbols_fd
The backtrace functionality is currently supported on some platforms, and it
based on dwarf2 informations to properly work, so any application that
want to use backtrace needs to be built with -fexceptions flag.
The symbol names may be unavailable without the use of special linker
