Documentation for LD_USE_LOAD_BIAS

Jakub,

I noticed that ld.so(8) doesn't document LD_USE_LOAD_BIAS, so I drew
heavily on your
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-hacker/2003-11/msg00127.html
to write the following:

       LD_USE_LOAD_BIAS
              By default (i.e., if this variable is not defined)  exe-
              cutables  and  prelinked  shared objects will honor base
              addresses of their  dependent  libraries  and  (non-pre-
              linked)   position-independent  executables  (PIEs)  and
              other  shared  objects  will   not   honor   them.    If
              LD_USE_LOAD_BIAS is defined wit the value, both executa-
              bles  and  PIEs  will  honor  the  base  addresses.   If
              LD_USE_LOAD_BIAS  is  defined  with the value 0, neither
              executables nor PIEs  will  honor  the  base  addresses.
              This variable is ignored by set-user-ID and set-group-ID
              programs.

Could you check this over and tell me if it looks okay?

Cheers,

Michael
