It needed little modification/updating until recently (2011) when +new constructs, such as STB_GNU_UNIQUE, were introduced into the dynamic +linking. + +The 2011 work was done by Mark Hatle and based on eglibc-2.13. I +attempted to document all of the code that had origins in eglibc and where +the code originated from. + +As eglibc continues to advance, similar resyncs will be needed over time. +Hopefully not such a dramatic resync will be required in the future. + +Mark Hatle <mark.hatle@windriver.com>, +August 2011 + +See the ChangeLog for additional changes. |
