Why is this a bad idea, Poul-Henning? >> Hi fellas. I was hoping to see more discussion on this... I'm hoping this mail will strict up some conversation on the subject. On another note, how is the '-R' flag to 'ld' supposed to work? The man page for 'ld' mentions -R in the syntax description but does not have any more works to say about it later in the man page. I suspect that there is a bug in its operation. (i.e., when you later dynamically load a .so file, it doesn't really use the search path specified by -R... only LD_LIBRARY_PATH).
