Milestone
Description
Previous release issue: #4459
glibc 2.34 was released. Time to follow the update procedure.
This bit is particularly interesting:
Major new features:
- In order to support smoother in-place-upgrades and to simplify
the implementation of the runtime all functionality formerly
implemented in the libraries libpthread, libdl, libutil, libanl has
been integrated into libc. New applications do not need to link with
-lpthread, -ldl, -lutil, -lanl anymore. For backwards compatibility,
empty static archives libpthread.a, libdl.a, libutil.a, libanl.a are
provided, so that the linker options keep working. Applications which
have been linked against glibc 2.33 or earlier continue to load the
corresponding shared objects (which are now empty). The integration
of those libraries into libc means that additional symbols become
available by default. This can cause applications that contain weak
references to take unexpected code paths that would only have been
used in previous glibc versions when e.g. preloading libpthread.so.0,
potentially exposing application bugs.
This one might affect our logic for detecting glibc version:
- Previously, glibc installed its various shared objects under versioned
file names such as libc-2.33.so. The ABI sonames (e.g., libc.so.6)
were provided as symbolic links. Starting with glibc 2.34, the shared
objects are installed under their ABI sonames directly, without
symbolic links. This increases compatibility with distribution
package managers that delete removed files late during the package
upgrade or downgrade process.
