For this to be practical and end-user friendly we would need LD_AUDIT to be more robust. Nowadays many applications are linked against libicu and for all those the la_preinit approach is currently not usable due to this bug. Also rebuilding shared libraries that cause problems in the context of LD_AUDIT as suggested in comment_#6 is often not practical. It would be great if someone could look again into this issue and see if it would be feasible to solve this problem for once and all. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
