Hello,
since glibc actually carries backward compatible abi versions,
i just wondered if it was possible to link to those older abi versions
even on new systems in order to support older systems.
so i goggled a bit and found an answer on
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4032373/linking-against-an-old-version-of-libc-to-provide-greater-application-coverage
it appears that its enough to emit something like
__asm__(".symver realpath,realpath@GLIBC_2.2.5");
in order to request the older symbol versions
i think if instructions like those where added when writing out the c
code, the night-lies could work on other systems like Debian again.
i'd like to ask for opinions on adding such statements and a starting
point on how to integrate it with the ExternalCompilationInfo.
best,
Ronny
