After staring at the dynamic loader code for a while, I think the following mmap call in dl-load.c doesn't correctly map the info data for /lib/libdl.so.2. /* Remember which part of the address space this object uses. */ l->l_map_start = (ElfW(Addr)) __mmap ((void *) mappref, maplength, c->prot, MAP_COPY|MAP_FILE, fd, c->mapoff); The info data is near the end of the mapped segment. The l_info field is initialized by elf_get_dynamic_info from the dynamic data mapped at l->ld. I seem to recall that the kernel mmap implementation on hppa is somewhat unique. In the above call, mappref is NULL. The kernel selects the map location. Dave -- J.
