Error in documentation of $ORIGIN in the ld.so man page

[Siddhesh Poyarekar]

Hi Michael,

The ld.so man page says:

       $ORIGIN (or equivalently ${ORIGIN})
              This expands to the directory containing the application
executable.  Thus, an application located in somedir/app could be
compiled with

which is incorrect since it expands to the directory containing the
DSO and not the application executable.  This seems like deliberate
behaviour in dl-object.c, so it needs to be fixed in the man page.
Credit goes to Jon Wakely for finding this[1].

Thanks,
Siddhesh
