The symlink is not the problem here. Problem is that ldd program output
format was changed in incompatible way.
This is what ldd output used to look like on a sane box:
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4001e000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
Notice how every library file dependence is preceeded by '=>' in uniform
way. The build-initrd.sh script from loop-AES-v3.0c and older expect to find
that '=>' before a file that needs to be copied.
I don't run Red Hat / Fedora distros myself, but I have been told that on
Fedora Core 3, the ldd program pukes out something like this:
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x42c2b000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x42c12000)
First line lists a dependency on some library file that does not even exist.
Score: 10 brain damage points. Third line no longer has that '=>' that some
scripts expect to be there. 3 points.
OTOH, above ldd output format breakage seems to be well in-line with Linux
business model, which seems to be something like this:
1) Intentionally make something incompatible or break some API.
2) Find customers whose products or servers were broken by said change.
3) Profit.
Anyway, below is a patch for build-initrd.sh script that makes it work with
sane old ldd output format as well as not-so-sane new ldd output format.
