• Status: VERIFIED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Yuta SATOH (RETIRED) 2004-07-10 09:26:45 UTC]

An error is displayed when ldd is performed to .a or .la file.

I rewrote and solved /usr/bin/ldd. 
A patch is appended. 


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce (example):
1.ldd /usr/lib/libc.a

Actual Results:  
An error is displayed.

[snip]
ldd: warning: you do not have execution permission for `/usr/lib/libc.a'
/usr/bin/ldd: line 1: /lib/ld.so.1: No such file or directory
ldd: /lib/ld.so.1 exited with unknown exit code (127)
[snip]

Expected Results:
It is displayed errorless.

ldd: warning: you do not have execution permission for `/usr/lib/libc.a'
        not a dynamic executable

patch for ldd

Since it is the error which has occurred since /lib/ld.so.1 
does not exist, I also think that using Symbolic Link can be
solved.

example
ln -s /lib/ld64.so.1 /lib/ld.so.1
