: This patch only activates the Linux processing when targeting Linux (and
: makes room for simular processing when targeting FreeBSD). I created ld
: targeting i686-pc-linux-gnu and did `make check' and things looked OK,
: along with a `make check' on FreeBSD 4.2.
Why is this patch necessary ? Ie what harm is there in checking
ld.so.conf on non-Linux based systems ?
i'm not sure if this _is_ an issue, but other systems besides linux have
an /etc/ld.so.conf and they do not all have the same semantics.
