Hmm.. my reading of 1275 says that an alias pointing to another alias is not permitted, but I'm not terribly confident I'm not misreading it. Segher, do you know whether this is allowed?
My reading is the same: if after expanding an alias the path does not start with "/", the search starts at the current package, otherwise it starts at the root node; and no further alias expansion is done. It's a corner case for sure, but at least the standard doesn't require us to implement recursive alias expansion; let's see if common practice does ;-) Segher _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
