Merge nosym branch.

[...]
There is a note in "6.10. Adjusting the Toolchain", telling:
"On 64-bit systems, the path above will be
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/6.2.0/../../../../lib64/. This reduces
to /usr/lib64 and /usr/lib64 is a symlink that points to /usr/lib."

Hopefully, this is no more true. I haven't built with the new layout
yet, so I am not sure how what should be changed, or whether the note
should remain, sorry for not proposing a fix.
Actually, what I have on a 64-bit build with jhalfs is:
/usr/lib/../lib/crt1.o succeeded
/usr/lib/../lib/crti.o succeeded
/usr/lib/../lib/crtn.o succeeded

I am not sure we should keep the note...

I agree that the note should be removed.

Actually, we have in the book /usr/lib/crt?.o. I'm thinking since we are
already adding the note about x86 not being regularly tested by the
editors, we should start using the 64-bit values. Any reason not to add
the extra path elements and showing explicit x86_64 output in the book
with the notes applying to x86 changes?

I think that is a good idea.

Also in Chapter 6, gcc we have:

"Depending on your machine architecture, the above may differ slightly,
the difference usually being the name of the directory after
/usr/lib/gcc. The important thing to look for here is that gcc has found
all three crt*.o files under the /usr/lib directory"

What I have is:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/6.2.0/../../../../lib/crt1.o succeeded
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/6.2.0/../../../../lib/crti.o succeeded
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/6.2.0/../../../../lib/crtn.o succeeded

so that paragraph *may* need to be revised or removed.

It looks correct to me. Again x86_64 values in the book?


Also later in the same chapter:

"The output of the last command (allowing for a lib64 directory on
64-bit hosts) should be:

attempt to open /lib/libc.so.6 succeeded"

so the parenthetical remark needs to be removed.

Yes, it appears I had lost some of those textual changes when moving away
from the first take (which broke spec).


There may be other places.  grep in /jhalfs/logs for lib64.


Yes, I plan to go through it with a fine toothed comb now.

Thanks for all of this.
