Hello,

using this occation for a reminder - as soon as uclibc would get
an explicit runtime loader, like glibc has,
it will be possible to seamlessly run an application,
with an arbitrary collection of libraries, without collisions,
via a simple wrapper.
You could do things which you can't with LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Please consider the useful design features...

My 2c,
