X-Debbugs-CC: [email protected], [email protected] Dear editors,
I would appreciate if you could point me to the latest version of the
"System V Application Binary Interface: AMD64 Architecture Processor
Supplement", which seems to be draft version 0.99.7.
I run AMD64 Linux systems that do not have a /lib64 directory. These
systems follow a multiarch structure, which allows to run programs from
any architecture, e.g. Intel386 on PowerPC. All program interpreters
have unique names and are located under /lib. AMD64 has
the /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 interpreter.
Section 5.2.1 of the draft says:
There is one valid program interpreter for programs conforming
to the AMD64 ABI: /lib/ld64.so.1
However, Linux puts this in /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
Could the following text be appended?
Multiarch systems may put this in /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
"may put" could be "puts" if a distro like Debian did this. Debian
follows a multiarch structure too. It does not follow appendix A.1,
which says:
Libraries conforming to the Intel386 ABI will live in the normal
places like /lib, /usr/lib and /usr/bin. Libraries following the
AMD64, will use lib64 subdirectories for the libraries,
e.g /lib64 and /usr/lib64.
In multiarch systems, Intel386 libraries are under /lib/i386-linux-gnu
or /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu, and AMD64 ones are
under /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu or /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. Could the
appendix show this fact?
Thank you.
