Yes, it's the most common one, and it's even the setup for my box currently. > > 2) Splitting the linker script for subarchs is definitely not needed. > > Per-subarch - perhaps not. Per-glibc-type - definitely needed. No, because the setup for NPTL glibc works also on non-NPTL one. Actually, to be exact, I've tested it *only* on normal glibc. I'm still waiting to get some testing in NPTL environments, but I expect it to work. > > 3) This removes the fix (done through objcopy -G switcheroo) to a link > > time conflict happening on some weird glibc combinations.
> *What* link-time conflict? We don't link libc into switcheroo anymore. Hmm, yes, I noted this... and maybe it could even be good (it makes sense, at least). Probably you are right on this, too.
P.S: is it only me or you've sent about 20 copies of your last message? -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!". Paolo Giarrusso, aka Blaisorblade (Skype ID "PaoloGiarrusso", ICQ 215621894) http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade
