Hi.
There's a bug in ld-linux and libdl.so glibc2.1.2pre2.
Absolute symbols in dynamically loaded ELF objects are relocated.
I believe this is contrary to the specs, and to the usual meaning of `absolute
symbol'.
I have code which depends upon the ability to address absolutely, and am
therefore interested in having this bug fixed.
Herewith a patch. Is there any likelihood of its getting into 2.1.2?
Colin.
