A thanks, I just assumed because it was linker stuff for ELF files you were involved in it too. Since you can't think of an appropriate place and this alias is -linking :-) Can we discuss it here ? Do you have an opinion on the request even if it isn't the area of code covered by ld(1) and ld.so.1(1) ? -- Darren J Moffat
