I had numerous problems with this overriding mechanism not working if libc's malloc.o had a calloc symbol, but rtld-elf's malloc.o did not. I can't claim to completely understand why the addition of calloc in rtld-elf was necessary. It's possible that there's another fix, but I don't know what it might be. Jason
