to gcc have not been made for ia64, which means that executables still
have /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 as the dynamic linker. This simply does
not work if /usr is a seperate filesystem not mounted when the kernel
tries to execute init(8).
Note that this is a temporary fix until a new gcc has been imported
that does have the required changes.
Approved: re@
dynamically linked. This has been a long time coming with the move of
critical libraries from /usr/lib to /lib. If you don't feel comfortable
with dynamically linked binaries in your root partition, now is the
time to define NO_DYNAMICROOT in your make.conf.
Approved by: re
WITH_DYNAMICROOT, which will toggle the generation of dynamically-linked
binaries for installation in /bin and /sbin. It is currently off,
meaning that /bin and /sbin are still statically linked by default.
If something goes wrong (which I hope doesn't), this is what /rescue is
all about. Please do not try to use WITH_DYNAMICROOT and NO_RESCUE to
save space or some other equally silly reason. If you do and end up
having problems, you have been warned.
