Is this the fix for a newly built ld.so segfaulting? If so, there seems
to be something else wrong too. Newly built ld.so still segfaults,
here's the gdb:

Starting program: /usr/src/glibc/glibc-2.2.4/./hppa-linux/obj/elf/ld.so

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x41003298 in _dl_start_final (arg=0xbff00414, bootstrap_map_p=0xbff00508, start_time=1090519040)
    at rtld.c:233
233       _dl_rtld_map.l_addr = bootstrap_map_p->l_addr;
(gdb) print bootstrap_map_p
$1 = (struct link_map *) 0xbff00508
(gdb) print bootstrap_map_p->l_addr
$2 = 1090519040
(gdb) print &_dl_rtld_map
$3 = (struct link_map *) 0x41029270
(gdb) print _dl_rtld_map.l_addr
$4 = 0


This is with binutils 2.11.92.0.7 and gcc-3.0.2 snapshot from 9-22-2001
(latest Debian packages available). I can give you more info if you need
it.
