Hello, I implemented DT_FILTER and DT_FILTER_AUX support for our rtld, following the documentation at http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-0690/chapter4-4?l=en&a=view Another interesting text is http://cygwin.ru/ml/libc-hacker/2001-05/msg00040.html
The support for filtering is required for possible future merge of libc and libthr. Regardeless of this, filters are the part of ELF, and we better have support for them. I am asking for the test of the patch http://people.freebsd.org/~kib/misc/dt_filter.1.patch by people running applications like KDE and OpenOffice on HEAD. My expectations are that after applying the patch, "nothing changes". Also, I was able to test the change only on i386/amd64. Any reports for the !x86 arches are welcomed. Thanks.
