Re: ELF_DYNAMIC_INTERPRETER changes for FreeBSD

   FreeBSD uses a different name for it's ELF_DYNAMIC_INTERPRETER than the
   values currently used by Binutils.


   2000-04-11  David O'Brien  <obrien@FreeBSD.org>

	   * elf32-i386.c (ELF_DYNAMIC_INTERPRETER): Handle FreeBSD.
	   * elf64-alpha.c (ELF_DYNAMIC_INTERPRETER): Likewise.

Besides the fact that testing using #ifdef is wrong, I think this is
the wrong approach anyhow.  Just use an appropriate --dynamic-linker
option when you link.  Even if you have a compiler other than gcc,
there must be some way to control the linker options.

BFD uses the dynamic interpreters specified in the ELF ABI.  I don't
see any reason for it to do anything else by default.
