So, is there someone in this new Alpha porting team that can help
Matt with upstream support on the Alpha port of glibc?
I am baulking at it as I am thinking about putting some effort into
binutils, particularly ld, and see if I can fix the relax code path
of the linker. I suspect that will have quite a nice flow-on effect
of fixing quite a few problems with plugins and the linking of large
C++ programs.
As You know, I already tries to help (testing, bisecting, minimising)
in this case. Unfortunetly I always have problem with understating
how the whole dynamic linking works under linux. I like digging more into
assembly and compiler alone, without linker magic.
