That's just so ridiculous. On all other operating systems that is not neccessary, because they don't do versioning, so they only have one library. That approach is wrong. Does it work if this is modified to just ask for "libc.so"? > I don't think there's anything we can sanely do in ld.so to work > around this. No, actually maybe we can. It just isn't what the current ld.so diff was trying to do. It was more conservative. It could perform more aggressive remapping, but then we need a long test cycle to ensure there's no bad effects.
