Description H.J. Lu 2013-02-05 01:42:36 UTC
According to gABI,

The set of directories specified by a given DT_RUNPATH entry is used to
find only the immediate dependencies of the executable or shared object
containing the DT_RUNPATH entry. That is, it is used only for those
dependencies contained in the DT_NEEDED entries of the dynamic structure
containing the DT_RUNPATH entry, itself. One object's DT_RUNPATH entry
does not affect the search for any other object's dependencies.

That means DT_RUNPATH on executable doesn't apply to shared objects
which executable depends on:

[hjl@gnu-6 pr15096a]$ cat foo.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>

int
main ()
{
  typedef int (*hello_t)();
  hello_t hello1;
  void* handle = dlopen("libso1.so", RTLD_LAZY);
  
  if (!handle)
    {
      printf ("dlopen: %s\n", dlerror ());
      return 1;
    }

  hello1 = (hello_t)dlsym(handle, "hello1");
  hello1();
  return 0;
}

extern void hello2 (void);

hello1 (void)

  hello2();
