I'd like to propose the creation of a new community that focuses
on Dynamic Linking.  Primarily, this would discuss issues regarding
the runtime linker (ld.so.1(1)), and link-editor (ld(1)).  However,
having supported these utilities for some time now, the core issues
that are normally discussed revolve around dynamic linking in general;
that is, creating dynamic objects, together with running, finding,
binding and diagnosing these objects.

The individual tools are often the source of a number of questions,
and this community is intended to be the resource to get the answers.
Various support utilities have fallen under this umbrella, including
ldd(1), elfdump(1), crle(1), etc.

But, the tools are a family of utilities whose purpose is to provide
dynamic linking support.  Problem solving within the dynamic linking
framework, and any extensions that might be useful, are the focus of
many customers.  Thus, this community is intended to be the place for
an overall dynamic linking exchange.

What's wrong with the tools community?
It sounds to me like it belongs there.

I believe humans always sucked.
They just suck in different ways now.
