 Hi Florian,

Hi Carmelo,

 
  I just updated two systems to uClibc 0.9.33.2/NPTL (ARMv5 and MIPS32r1), 
  and I now see dlsym() returning NULL for a symbol where it should not.
  
 
 Does it mean that with an older version is worked ? if so, which one ?
 it could help to identify the problem, if any.

The version we updated from was 0.9.30.2 which is quite old, I will start a 
bisection to pin point the exact commit introducing the issue.

 
  The situation is the following:
  
  1) application foo links against shared library mylib and in 
particular 
  the symbol bar
  
  2) mylib2 is a shared library providing a modified bar symbol and 
  performing a dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, bar) to get the bar symbol address in 
  mylib and finally call this symbol.
  
  3) foo is started that way:
  LD_PRELOAD=libmylib2.so foo
  
  I am yet to be able to write down a reduced test-case exposing the issue, 
  because so far, the problem is appearing only in a much larger mylib and 
  foo though they both do not do much more than what is described above. I 
  have not tried uClibc's master yet.
  
  Any hints would be appreciated 
  
  Thanks!
  
 
 cheers,
 Carmelo

dlsym(RTLD_NEXT) failures on ARM and MIPS with LD_PRELOAD w/ 0.9.33.2

Hi all,

I just updated two systems to uClibc 0.9.33.2/NPTL (ARMv5 and MIPS32r1), 
and I now see dlsym() returning NULL for a symbol where it should not.

The situation is the following:

1) application foo links against shared library mylib and in particular 
the symbol bar

2) mylib2 is a shared library providing a modified bar symbol and 
performing a dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, bar) to get the bar symbol address in 
mylib and finally call this symbol.

3) foo is started that way:
LD_PRELOAD=libmylib2.so foo

I am yet to be able to write down a reduced test-case exposing the issue, 
because so far, the problem is appearing only in a much larger mylib and 
foo though they both do not do much more than what is described above. I 
have not tried uClibc's master yet.

Any hints would be appreciated
