Add a strong symbol observable by dynamic linker


Hi,

I am doing a research project and need to add a new function, say shift_sigaction, into glibc, and make it observable by the dynamic linker (ld.so).

I have added entries in Versions file, to export the strong symbol. But when building ld.so, it still cannot find the shift_sigaction:

=====================

/home/wuxi/shift/install/compiler-4.1.1/bin/gcc -nostdlib -nostartfiles -shared \
-Wl,-z,combreloc -Wl,-z,defs -Wl,--verbose 2>&1 | \
LC_ALL=C \
sed -e '/^=========/,/^=========/!d;/^=========/d' \
-e 's/\. = 0 + SIZEOF_HEADERS;/& _begin = . - SIZEOF_HEADERS;/' \
> /home/wuxi/shift/build/elf/ld.so.lds
/home/wuxi/shift/install/compiler-4.1.1/bin/gcc -nostdlib -nostartfiles -shared -o /home/wuxi/shift/build/elf/ld.so \

=====================

So, what do I miss here?

Thanks :-)

yours sincerely
