I have tried compiling ld.so a bit because I want to have iptables too.
I concentrated in libdl.so, which I managed to compile using the new strings.h
of the kernel (2.4.2). I used the version for the i386 because according to the
comments in the source the optimized version is broken at the moment. I simply
prepended each function name or define with "_dl_". Now there are warnings about
_dl_linux_resolver but it compiles against uClibc.
For /lib/ld-linux.so.1 I use the version from the Debian ld.so package. But it
seems to have problems with the new kernel. I get a segfault in _dl_find_hash.
I even tried to compile ld-linux myself then and simply commented out the lines
causing the segfault (which are labeled as a "hack" in the comments) but this only
moves the segfault a bit further down the file (hash.c).
Since my low-level C knowledge is somewhat limited I have no ideas what I could do
further.
