Hi

I am hacking through the secure RPC code (I am happy to say an extremely
small amount of it is restricted), but I am having hassles with libc.

When I rebuild the new libc.so.2.2 and install it, my world falls apart
with messages like

ld.so: failed!

_After_ the new shared library is installed, and I can go no further.
I am no boffin with shared libraries, but I have tried the following:

1) change MINOR to 3, relink everything to do with libraries.
2) leave MINOR as 2, relink everything to do with libs.
3) & 4) same as above with a reboot in between.
5) & 6) same as above but playing games with ldconfig.
7) sacrificing a chicken at dawn.
8) swearing in 7 of our 11 official languages.
9) linking things statically.
10) various combinations of the above.

The only interesting result I got was that linking statically often
showed things that _were_ in the library (nm(1) showed the T record)
to be not found. (I knew they weren't being found in the shared link, but
there it was a load-time message, not a link-time).

Any hints?

M
