If it isn't used, what you mean by saying "happy"? Does it means
that new
rtld-elf should be builded/installed before new libc builded/
installed or
not?
rtld-elf needs its own implementation of malloc, but when the
application is loaded, the symbols in rtld-elf's malloc.o are
overridden. 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.
