Is there a way to somehow configure gcc build executables that look elsewhere
for ld-linux.so.2, or is what I'm trying to do simply not possible?
I'd really like to have a set of libraries with my program so that
it's binary compatible with other distros... there must be a way.
If anyone has any tips or advice I'd appreciate it.
There are two official ways to go:
1) Build static binaries. (If your apps use libnss*.a, you may want to
configure your toolchain's glibc with --enable-static-nss; I'm
doing that now for one project. Don't tell drepper.)
2) Build your apps with lsbcc. That will link to the LSB's
frozen version of libstdc++, etc.
#1 is doable right now. #2 is, too, but requires your users to
install your distro's LSB runtime package.
