+[Q16] ``When I use GNU libc on my Linux system by linking against
+ to libc.so which comes with glibc all I get is a core dump.''
+
+[A16] {UD} It is not enough to simply link against the GNU libc
+library itself. The GNU C library comes with its own dynamic linker
+which really conforms to the ELF API standard. This dynamic linker
+must be used.
+
+Normally this is done by the compiler. The gcc will use
+
+ -dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux.so.1
+
+unless the user specifies her/himself a -dynamic-linker argument. But
+this is not the correct name for the GNU dynamic linker. The correct
+name is /lib/ld.so.1 which is the name specified in the SVr4 ABi.
+
+To change your environment to use GNU libc for compiling you need to
+change the `specs' file of your gcc. This file is normally found at
+
+ /usr/lib/gcc-lib/<arch>/<version>/specs
+
+In this file you have to change a few things:
+
+- change `ld-linux.so.1' to `ld.so.1'
+
+- remove all expression `%{...:-lgmon}'; there is no libgmon in glibc
+
+
+Things are getting a bit more complicated if you have GNU libc
+installed in some other place than /usr, i.e., if you do not want to
+use it instead of the old libc. In this case the needed startup files
+and libraries are not found in the regular places. So the specs file
+must tell the compiler and linker exactly what to use. Here is for
+example the gcc-2.7.2 specs file when GNU libc is installed at
+/home/gnu:

+ linking on my Linux system I get error messages. How is
+ this supposed to work?''
+
+[A17] {RM} Believe it or not, stat and lstat (and fstat, and mknod)
+are supposed to be undefined references in libc.so.6! Your problem is
+probably a missing or incorrect /usr/lib/libc.so file; note that this
+is a small text file now, not a symlink to libc.so.6. It should look
+something like this:
+
+GROUP ( libc.so.6 ld.so.1 libc.a )
+
+
+{UD} The Linux ldconfig file probably generates a link libc.so ->
+libc.so.6 in /lib. This is not correct. There must not be such a
+link. The linker script with the above contents is placed in
+/usr/lib which is enough for the linker.
