I have a library that is failing to load. Eventually I managed to play
with ld-elf so I could figure out what was wrong (jail -> build the
ld-elf in the jail with some printfs)
Anyway, I have a lot of test cases that seem to compile/load fine, but
one compiles fine but always fails to load, I found /why/ it fails,
but I don't know what in my library would cause the issues.
It looks like a versioning failure for libc.so.7:
libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x2807e000)
What would cause this, but not cause failures on other libraries I've
built on the same system?
* Between successes and failures I have not rebuilt anything other
than the successful and failing libraries.
Thanks,

In case it might be useful, below I have an output from my modified
ld-elf, Anything starting with ">>>" comes from the
"rtld_verify_versions" function, anything starting with ">>" comes
from the "dlopen" function. Anything starting with "##" is a comment
or interperetation I added after the fact.
#dlopen, prints name and mode arguments
>>Opening: 'libctypeless.so' : 513
#prints name and pointer to main passed to load_object if name is not null
>> Name not null, calling: load_object("libctypeless.so", 0x28078000 /*main*/)
#prints the pointer returned for obj
>> Found: 0x28078400
#tells the refcount on obj, immediately after the increment
>> opened, refcount inc'ed: 1
#this is the first thing done after the initial STAILQ_FOREACH(entry,
objlist, link) {
