Greetings.
Just a quick question on the runtime linker code. The function
_dl_start in elf/rtld.c initializes the first entry in the
link_map with the call:
bootstrap_map.l_addr = elf_machine_load_address ();
I'm working on MIPS, this function in sysdeps/mips/dl-machine.h
does some assembly code that returns the start address of the
dynamic linker i.e. the dl_start function, correct? This address
should be the same as the AT_BASE entry in the auxillary vector
tables, correct? Thanks.
