I have a wonky question for the other GLIBC hackers:
I find myself often wanting to link test binaries so that they have
the path of the build tree's dynamic linker hardcoded, and a DT_RPATH
in their dynamic section that hardcodes the build tree directories
containing .so's. This way you can actually run GDB on them without
too much trouble. At the moment, I do this by cutting and pasting the
link line, editing the -dynamic-linker argument, and changing the
-rpath-link to -rpath. But this seems like a pretty basic thing to
want, especially for test programs. Other people at CodeSourcery have
wanted it.
Does anyone have a nicely packaged way to do this? I don't see any
nice boundaries or variables in Makeconfig that one could take
advantage of.
