I only have a very vague knowledge of how this all works but ld edits the object code in the executable so that it can track down the the right .so files and (possibly even) know which parts of them are relevant. Seeing that they could have been built with a different system / compiler / version reading through the headers is not sufficient to make this work. -- Quote of the login: The "cutting edge" is getting rather dull. -- Andy Purshottam
