Re: default ELF dynamic linker can be wrong.

   i've noticed that the default dynamic on many architectures
   is hard coded to a particular platform.  eg, i see:

   what is the best way to fix this?  i don't see any easy way to
   fit this information into the existing structure.

There is no bug, so there is nothing to fix.

The default location of the dynamic linker is specified in the
individual ELF processor supplements.  They specify different
locations.  NetBSD, and, for that matter, GNU/Linux, happen to not use
the default locations, and require a -dynamic-linker option to produce
a working dynamically linked executable.
