[PATCH] Allow use of executable RPATH/RUNPATH when finding libraries.

Fri Feb 20 00:03:26 UTC 2015


This option will modify ldso so that it will use the executables
RPATH/RUNPATH to find to find libraries even though this behavour
is not standard.  Setting this option causes the uclibc dynamic linker
behavour to match the glibc dynamic linker.
