  1726. up when a global const variable is initialized to the address of a
  1727. function or the value of another global variable.)
  1728. This is a fairly obscure option the ld man page doesn't even bother
  1729. to document properly. It's a security paranoia issue that's more
  1730. likely to consume memory (by allocating an extra page) rather than
  1731. save it.

  1740. This tells the linker to resolve all symbols when the library is

  1742. increases start-up latency by a few microseconds and may do
  1743. unnecessary work (resolving symbols that are never used), but the
  1744. realtime people like it for making microbenchmark timings slightly
  1745. more predictable and in some cases it can be slightly faster due to

  1747. lazy symbol resolution).

  1754. as not requiring an executable stack. (This doesn't prevent other
  1755. files you link against from claiming to need an executable stack, it
  1756. just won't cause uClibc to request it unnecessarily.)
  1757. This is a security thing to make buffer overflows harder to exploit.
  1758. By itself, it's kind of useless, as Linus Torvalds explained in 1998:
  1759. http://old.lwn.net/1998/0806/a/linus-noexec.html
  1760. It only actually provides any security when combined with address
  1761. space randomization, explained here: http://lwn.net/Articles/121845/

  1834. LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT=file
  1835. redirects the diagnostics to an output file created using
  1836. the specified name and the process id as a suffix.
  1837. An excellent start is simply:
  1838. $ LD_DEBUG=binding,move,symbols,reloc,detail ./appname
  1839. or to log everything to a file named 'logfile', try this
  1840. $ LD_DEBUG=all LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT=logfile ./appname

  1860. Malloc debugging output may then be enabled at runtime using the
  1861. MALLOC_DEBUG environment variable.
  1862. The value of MALLOC_DEBUG should be an integer, which is interpreted
  1863. as a bitmask with the following bits:
  1864. 1 - do extra consistency checking
  1865. 2 - output messages for malloc/free calls and OS
  1866. allocation calls
  1867. 4 - output messages for the `MMB' layer
  1868. 8 - output messages for internal malloc heap manipulation

  1882. want to use backtrace needs to be built with -fexceptions flag.
  1883. The symbol names may be unavailable without the use of special linker
  1884. options. For systems using the GNU linker, it is necessary to use the
