Hello,

just a question, in the past (pre-ELF) I was using a script runsocks to
socksify a dynamically linked application. This script simply added the
socks-shared library in the environment-variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This
way it was possible to use most (not all) dynamically linked programs
through a socks-firewall.

With ELF this does not work any more. A quick browse in rtld-elf sources
shows no reference to this variable any more. Is there a similar
mechanism in rtld-elf that I missed? If not are there any plans to
implement this feature? It is not as trivial as it was in the aout-rtld
program, but it should be doable.

Thank you

Michael
