On an interesting note, the stuff that fails to compile in the ld.so
package is also stuff that has no docs at all (elf-ok, lddstub, and a few
others), so it's tough to tell what they do. Admittedly, my assembly
knowledge is pretty bad these days (plus, I can't find my architecture
manual right now), so if someone wants to look and see just what those
things do OR maybe just split off a separate ldconfig package.... :)
