Fix a bug in the handling of minor version numbers. Formerly, the

rtld would accept the first shared library it found with the right major version number, even if the minor version number was too low. If a different version of the shared library with an adequate minor version number appeared later in the search path, it would not be found. Now the rtld searches all locations first looking for a library with a minor version that is high enough. Only if such a library is not found will it fall back to accepting a minor version number that is too low. As before, a warning comes out in that case. This solves some problems encountered when building an older world on a -current system.

least 2 version numbers. This fixes the bug where the dynamic linker would try to load an ELF shared library if it found one. Note, this change also fixes the same thing in "ld", because the code is shared. For "ld" there is still a problem with ".a" libraries, which cannot be distinguished by name. I haven't decided what, if anything, to do about that.

it to sit right... The __error() hack gave out the wrong address. It returned the address of errno in ld.so instead of the address of errno in the main program. Oops. The hack is now correct, just in time to be obsoleted by elf.

Since I got no objections to this patch, and no one has offered any

alternative, I present .. ta! da! .. the __error() hack. This patch to the a.out dynamic loader provides old a.out binaries with __error() if they are linked with an older libc that lacks it, but are also linked against a library that needs it. There is a smaller, tricker hack that takes advantage of the fact that ld.so has __error() too, courtesy of the new libc, but this hack is the straightforward version.

from the gpl ld code. This is part 2 of something that I began in 1996. A repository copy has happened behind cvs's back.

ELF preparation step 2:

1998-05-26T20:12:56Z

Move a.out libraries to /usr/lib/aout to make space for ELF libs. Make rtld usr /usr/lib/aout as default library path. Make ldconfig reject /usr/lib as an a.out library path. Fix various Makefiles for LIBDIR!=/usr/lib breakage. This will after a make world & reboot give a system that no longer uses /usr/lib/*, infact one could remove all the old libraries there, they are not used anymore. We are getting close to an ELF make world, but I'll let this all settle for a week or two...
