ELF_DYNAMIC_INTERPRETER

[Manoj Verma, Noida]

The problem with this approach is:

If I give something like:

$ arm-linux-ld test.o -dynamic-linker=/lib/ld-linux.so.2 -o myout

and I do: 
$arm-linux-readelf -l myout 

i see:
Program Headers:
  Type           Offset   VirtAddr   PhysAddr   FileSiz MemSiz  Flg Align
  PHDR           0x000034 0x00008034 0x00008034 0x000c0 0x000c0 R E 0x4
  INTERP         0x0000f4 0x000080f4 0x000080f4 0x00013 0x00013 R   0x1
      [Requesting program interpreter: /c/MinGW/msys/home/lib/ld-linux.so.2]
  LOAD           0x000000 0x00008000 0x00008000 0x3253a 0x3253a R E 0x8000
  LOAD           0x03253c 0x0004253c 0x0004253c 0x01020 0x02558 RW  0x8000



The absolute path get appended with the interpreter, which would be
non-existing on my target and I am unable to execute my prog.
