Hi folks,
We really need to push on with getting the loader path for armhf standardised. The path that was agreed months ago is
/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ld-linux.so.3
but clearly not everybody is using that yet. Dann has just posted an updated patch for gcc, and we want to get this reviewed / fixed up / accepted ASAP. Then we may need to backport it to older gcc releases.
This is *important* so that we can help vendors release binaries that work on any hard-float distribution. For people who have made binaries that still use the old, broken location /lib/ld-linux.so.3, we can put symlinks in place *for now* but in the longer term as many distros switch to multi-arch the symlink is not an acceptable solution.
I'm working on a more complete spec document for armhf to help us with this kind of thing, but it's not going as smoothly as I'd hoped and I don't want to wait for that as a blocker on the linker path.
Cheers,
