  165. If you answer Y here, the uClibc native shared library loader will
  166. only load shared libraries, which do not need to modify any non-writable
  167. segments. These libraries haven't set the DT_TEXTREL tag in the dynamic
  168. section (==> objdump). All your libraries must be compiled with
  169. -fPIC or -fpic, and all assembler function must be written as position
  170. independent code (PIC).

  181. and then provide a list of shared libraries that are required for an

  1196. Answer Y here to enable all the extra code needed to debug the uClibc
  1197. native shared library loader. The level of debugging noise that is
  1198. generated depends on the LD_DEBUG environment variable... Just set
  1199. LD_DEBUG to something like: 'LD_DEBUG=token1,token2,.. prog' to
  1200. debug your application. Diagnostic messages will then be printed to
  1201. the stderr.
  1202. For now these debugging tokens are available:
  1203. detail provide more information for some options
  1204. move display copy processing
  1205. symbols display symbol table processing
  1206. reloc display relocation processing; detail shows the relocation patch
  1207. nofixups never fixes up jump relocations
  1208. bindings displays the resolve processing (function calls); detail shows the relocation patch
  1209. all Enable everything!
  1210. The additional environment variable:
  1211. LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT=file
  1212. redirects the diagnostics to an output file created using
  1213. the specified name and the process id as a suffix.
  1214. An excellent start is simply:
  1215. $ LD_DEBUG=binding,move,symbols,reloc,detail ./appname
  1216. or to log everything to a file named 'logfile', try this
  1217. $ LD_DEBUG=all LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT=logfile ./appname

  1239. Malloc debugging output may then be enabled at runtime using the

  1241. The value of MALLOC_DEBUG should be an integer, which is interpreted as
  1242. a bitmask with the following bits:
  1243. 1 - do extra consistency checking
  1244. 2 - output messages for malloc/free calls and OS allocation calls
  1245. 4 - output messages for the `MMB' layer
  1246. 8 - output messages for internal malloc heap manipulation calls
  1247. Because this increases the size of malloc appreciably (due to strings
