            Bug ID: 24838
           Summary: /etc/ld.so.preload.d drop-in configuration folder
                    support
           Product: binutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ld
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: adrelanos at riseup dot net
  Target Milestone: ---

File /etc/ld.so.preload can be used to preload shard objects but there is no
/etc/ld.so.preload.d drop-in configuration folder supported yet.

Modifying /etc/ld.so.preload directly is appropriate for system administrators
but not for linux distributions. A configuration file can only be owned by one
package at the same time. A package that shipped a /etc/ld.so.preload file
might overwrite the loal system administator's changes.

Therefore as you may know many applications support configuration drop-in
folders. Examples are /etc/default/grub.d /etc/grub.d /etc/profile.d
/etc/X11/Xsession.d and many more.

Could you please add a new feature to parse /etc/ld.so.preload.d for
configuration snippets?
