Supporting preinit is fine, but using it to fix a completely unrelated issue is not acceptable. Beside, glibc does not have to use the feature to support it. Especially since adding a preinit table to libc.so will not help at all since it is never used (except if libc.so is executed directly). -- ---------------. drepper at gnu.org ,-. 1325 Chesapeake Terrace Ulrich Drepper \ ,-------------------' \ Sunnyvale, CA 94089 USA Cygnus Solutions `--' drepper at cygnus.com `------------------------
