Using ldso on sparc

[Friedrich Oslage]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up an uClibc chroot on my UltraSPARC. Static linking
works out of the box but dynamic does not.

The first error I got was:

'/lib/libc.so.0' is not an ELF executable for sparc

I solved this by patching ldso/ldso/sparc/dl-sysdep.h. This is required
because uClibc is compiled with -mcpu=v9 and the EM_SPARC magic is for
-mcpu=v7 only.

The second error I got was:

Bus error

which happend when the loader-code tried to assign a value to
tpnt->st_dev in ldso/ldso/dl-elf.c(line 717). I "solved" this by just
changing the type of st_dev to int in struct elf_resolve.


With these changes, dynamic linking works again, at least with simple
hello world apps, haven't tested anything more complex yet. But I don't
really understand the dev_t thing. So, if someone can enlighten me,
please do. :)

Regards,
Friedrich Oslage
