Hi, I tried using your patches, but things don't quite work for me.
Firstly, the patches include the entire /debian subdirectory, which probably isn't what you want. However there are some things you do want, like adding the architecture in the control file, which aren't there. As a guide, I'd find it easiest if I could do apt-get source ltrace and then use your patches. Things don't work for me, however. I installed it on a POWER4 machine (using the gcc4 port) and tried running it [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/ltrace-0.3.36$ ltrace /bin/ls Warning: Couldn't get symbol "main" from "/bin/ls" or it's a duplicate [ls output follows with no ltrace output] +++ exited (status 0) +++ On the code; I don't know that much about PPC but I did write a IA64 port which I also want to get in. At a glance it seems we could both do with more architecture abstraction. For example, in read_elf() what used to be a fairly straight forward breakpoint in the PLT turns into a bit of a hack requiring you to understand that the PLT on ppc64 is writable (unlike on other architectures I know where the PLT looks up a GOT entry). And the elf_plt2addr() peering into the opd has me similarly confused, along with the indirection through plt2addr() for the other architectures. Personally I think lots more comments wouldn't go astray. -i
