  164. segments. These libraries haven't set the DT_TEXTREL tag in the dynamic

  167. independent code (PIC).

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

  1142. allows a degree of visibility into the very early shared library
  1143. loader initialization process. If you are doing development and want
  1144. to debug the uClibc shared library loader early initialization,
  1145. answer Y. Mere mortals answer N.
  1146. config UCLIBC_MALLOC_DEBUGGING
  1147. bool "Build malloc with debugging support"
  1148. depends MALLOC
  1149. default n
  1150. help
  1151. Answer Y here to compile extra debugging support code into malloc.
  1152. Malloc debugging output may then be enabled at runtime using the
  1153. MALLOC_DEBUG environment variable.
  1154. The value of MALLOC_DEBUG should be an integer, which is interpreted as
  1155. a bitmask with the following bits:
  1156. 1 - do extra consistency checking
  1157. 2 - output messages for malloc/free calls and OS allocation calls
  1158. 4 - output messages for the `MMB' layer
  1159. 8 - output messages for internal malloc heap manipulation calls
  1160. Because this increases the size of malloc appreciably (due to strings
  1161. etc), you should say N unless you need to debug a malloc problem.
