Subject: making the testsuite more like real life... ld.so edition
Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2019 21:00:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <xneezch0dk.fsf@greed.delorie.com> (raw)


I just finished RCA'ing a bugzilla[*] where the fault depended on
(among other things outside the scope of this email) the fact that we
run ld.so directly, instead of indirectly.  I.e. these two commands
produce different results:

	$ ld.so tst-foo
	$ tst.foo

What are our options for running those types of tests in a more "real
world" way?

Should we modify all the test-in-container tests to drop the explicit
ld.so, and relegate those tests to t-i-c?

Should we modify how we build the tests so that we never need the
explicit ld.so?

Other ideas?
