A couple of notes:
- Table 1.3 mentions the SOnames of the libs, those should go into the
architecture dependend section (also in the following sections,
e.g. section 10.1)
- Chapter 9.1 mentions the name of the dynamic linker as
/lib/ld-lsb.so.1. What happens if I want to run e.g. ia32 LSB
compliant apps on ia64? Shouldn't we make the name also
architecture dependend?
- You didn't add my definitions for 10.3. Almost all "What is this"
comments should be filled in with the information I send you last
week.
- 10.4.2 mentions "clog" as a data symbol. That's wrong, clog is a
function.
Thanks,
Andreas
