1 | | In chapter 10.7.4 (Configuring the dynamic linker) there is /lib/ld-linux.so.2 named as default linker, mostly true but not on PPC systems. There it should read as /lib/ld.so.1, isn't it? |
| 1 | As far as I know, slackintosh is using ld.so.1. |
| 2 | Gentoo I didn't look at but I'm sure is, the slackintosh |
| 3 | mailing list mentions that most all distros are using ld.so.1. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ld.so.1 probably existed for x86 in the real early ld days, but |
| 6 | most everything but ppc/ppc64 is using ld-linux.so.2 |
| 7 | |
| 8 | There are ways to get ppc and ppc64 to use ld-linux.so.2 instead, but that isn't needed. It may change in the future that ppc and ppc64 will move to ld-linux.so.2. |

| 10 | For the book, the default is ld.so.1. |

| 12 | I've never encountered a ppc build, yet, that doesn't use ld.so.1. |
