1 if you're not using arm, or you're using softfp, then feel free to stop
2 reading

4 i've backported the patches from upstream gcc/glibc to use the new ldso paths
5 for arm hardfp targets. atm, this is in glibc-2.15 and gcc-4.5.3 and
6 gcc-4.6.3. so if you have one of these systems where you're running softfp by
7 default, you might want to be careful when you update glibc as the ldso will
8 change and all your dynamically linked ELFs will probably go kablooie :).

10 if this happens to you, you can easily recover. launch the static rescue
11 shell:
12 /bin/bb
13 then symlink the old path to the new one:
14 ln -s ld-linux-armhf.so.3 /lib/ld-linux.so.3
15
16 this is to support the cross-distro standardization of armv7/hardfp work.
