  162. only load shared libraries, which do not need to modify any non-writable
  163. segments. These libraries haven't set the DT_TEXTREL tag in the dynamic
  164. section (==> objdump). All your libraries must be compiled with
  165. -fPIC or -fpic, and all assembler function must be written as position
  166. independent code (PIC).

  203. is necessary to set this to something other than "ld.so" to avoid

  1131. Say Y here if you wish to compile uClibc with debugging symbols.
  1132. This will allow you to use a debugger to examine uClibc internals
  1133. while applications are running. This increases the size of the
  1134. library considerably and should only be used when doing development.
  1135. If you are doing development and want to debug uClibc, answer Y.
  1136. Otherwise, answer N.

  1149. help
  1150. Say Y here if you do wish to strip all uClibc libraries and
  1151. executables. No stripping increases the size of the binaries
  1152. considerably, but makes it possible to debug uClibc libraries.
  1153. Most people will answer Y.
  1154. config DOASSERTS
  1155. bool "Build uClibc with run-time assertion testing"
  1156. default n
  1157. help
  1158. Say Y here to include runtime assertion tests.
  1159. This enables runtime assertion testing in some code, which can
  1160. increase the size of the library and incur runtime overhead.
  1161. If you say N, then this testing will be disabled.
  1162. config SUPPORT_LD_DEBUG
  1163. bool "Build the shared library loader with debugging support"
  1164. depends on HAVE_SHARED
  1165. default n
  1166. help
  1167. Answer Y here to enable all the extra code needed to debug the uClibc
  1168. native shared library loader. The level of debugging noise that is
  1169. generated depends on the LD_DEBUG environment variable... Just set
  1170. LD_DEBUG to something like: 'LD_DEBUG=token1,token2,.. prog' to
  1171. debug your application. Diagnostic messages will then be printed to
  1172. the stderr.
  1173. For now these debugging tokens are available:
  1174. detail provide more information for some options
  1175. move display copy processing
  1176. symbols display symbol table processing
  1177. reloc display relocation processing; detail shows the relocation patch
  1178. nofixups never fixes up jump relocations
  1179. bindings displays the resolve processing (function calls); detail shows the relocation patch
  1180. all Enable everything!
  1181. The additional environment variable:
  1182. LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT=file
  1183. redirects the diagnostics to an output file created using
  1184. the specified name and the process id as a suffix.
  1185. An excellent start is simply:
  1186. $ LD_DEBUG=binding,move,symbols,reloc,detail ./appname
  1187. or to log everything to a file named 'logfile', try this
  1188. $ LD_DEBUG=all LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT=logfile ./appname
  1189. If you are doing development and want to debug uClibc's shared library
  1190. loader, answer Y. Mere mortals answer N.

  1192. bool "Build the shared library loader with early debugging support"
  1193. depends on HAVE_SHARED
  1194. default n
  1195. help
  1196. Answer Y here to if you find the uClibc shared library loader is
  1197. crashing or otherwise not working very early on. This is typical
  1198. only when starting a new port when you haven't figured out how to
  1199. properly get the values for argc, argv, environ, etc. This method
  1200. allows a degree of visibility into the very early shared library
  1201. loader initialization process. If you are doing development and want
  1202. to debug the uClibc shared library loader early initialization,
  1203. answer Y. Mere mortals answer N.
  1204. config UCLIBC_MALLOC_DEBUGGING
  1205. bool "Build malloc with debugging support"
  1206. depends MALLOC || MALLOC_STANDARD
  1207. default n
  1208. help
  1209. Answer Y here to compile extra debugging support code into malloc.
  1210. Malloc debugging output may then be enabled at runtime using the
  1211. MALLOC_DEBUG environment variable.
  1212. The value of MALLOC_DEBUG should be an integer, which is interpreted as
  1213. a bitmask with the following bits:
  1214. 1 - do extra consistency checking
  1215. 2 - output messages for malloc/free calls and OS allocation calls
  1216. 4 - output messages for the `MMB' layer
  1217. 8 - output messages for internal malloc heap manipulation calls
  1218. Because this increases the size of malloc appreciably (due to strings
  1219. etc), you should say N unless you need to debug a malloc problem.
