I meant the runtime linker/loader ld.so. > the commit message also doesn't really explain in concrete details the > scenario you're running into. We were seeing binaries with RPATHS like /usr/lib in them which basically doesn't do anything useful since it is a default for ld.so. We were therefore trying to remove those to improve the efficiency of the binaries slightly. Cheers, Richard
