Hi All,
just to inform you that we (@STMicroelectronics) are working
to extend uClibc ld.so to support prelinking.
This would go through several steps because there are some
missing feature in uClibc.

So in he near future I'm planning to post some patches for review.

Steps should be as follows

1 Support for ld.so stand-alone mode (done)
2 Extend tracing for prelink (in progress)
  2.1 Support global and local scope for symbols resolution (done)
  2.2 Handle symbol resolution conflicts (in progress)
  2.3 Symbols resolution caching (???)
3 Support prelinked DSO (TBD)

Step 1 is already available on ST uClibc git
You can get a first look at this @ http://git.stlinux.com/?p=stm/uclibc.git;a=shortlog;h=prelink

I'm working to port the patch against master head shortly.

Cheers,
Carmelo
