--HACzHn9G0kmbdSJa Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline I've put up what I hope to be my final patch for a dynamically linked world. Here's my plan for rolling it into place with as little fuss as possible (hopefully): 1) Add /lib and /libexec to mtree along with the tweaks to rtld-elf to prepend /lib to the search path. Add necessary make-goo to strap /lib into buildworld. 2) Make rtld installed into /libexec with a compatibility symlink in /usr/libexec so existing binaries continue to work. 3) Kick over all the libraries needed to run /bin and /sbin into /lib. Only the versioned binaries will be in /lib, the .so symlink will continue to live in /usr/lib so the toolchain doesn't need to be modified. 4) Add support of a WITH_DYNAMICROOT knob that will make /bin and /sbin dynamic. If things go badly, that's what /rescue is for. 5) Optionally, make WITH_DYANMICROOT default (reverse the logic actually). http://people.freebsd.org/~gordon/patches/dynamic.patch Please look over this patch, if I don't hear any objections or any ideas as to a better way to integrate in order to keep the potential for foot shooting down, I'll start integrating them. -gordon --HACzHn9G0kmbdSJa Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/OI9DRu2t9DV9ZfsRAoHHAKCCzUSr7aMjCM5iEhUcdVwtwQm8ygCgkIvL R2p1gpOhQkTqI9fVPhiD3tw= =N8n4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --HACzHn9G0kmbdSJa--
