To use them you will need to (at least) rebuilt crt0.o c++rt0.o and ld.so. I am not sure I would class the changes as MAJOR. Most of ld.so is unchanged; I just rewrote dlopen. I would like to see these changes move into the 2.1 track so can people please test them in -current and give me some feedback. -- Doug Rabson, Microsoft RenderMorphics Ltd.
