I can see _dl_aux_init() gets indeed called from __libc_start_main() in my i386/Linux libc-start.o binary (in libc.a), but it does not in my MIPSel/Linux one. So there must be a bug somewhere in 2.2.5, perhaps fixed later. I'll have a look at it. Once fixed, I guess we should choose the IA64 way. After a brief look at the sources I suspect sysdeps/mips/elf/ldsodefs.h overrides sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ldsodefs.h -- if that's the case, the bug still exists in the trunk. I'll work on a fix later, probably tonight. -- + Maciej W.
