Thanks.

We do not support dl_iterate_phdr and I am not sure what is present in dlinfo.

The support under the dlopen family of calls may not be exactly the same as
Linux or Unix as we do not need to followed the sharing model. We should be
following what the standard says.

I am fine with libtecla being in libmisc, the standard RTEMS may benefit from 
it.

Why is there a regexp library?

OK.

Joel, which dependences are you thinking of?
