Hi,

TBH while I always comment reasons for each of the compilation options in
reality I tried them all and chose that combination that needs the most simple
compile/compile-object-load.c (ld.so emulation) implementation.

So this is a formal request for review/approval as the main patchset is now
checked in.


Thanks,
Jan
