Woah, thanks ! I was tearing my hair out trying to debug this. I had
noticed that ldd seemed to claim everything was linked to
linux-gate.so.1, and had already figured out that this was some
kernel-provided dynamic .so, but I was unable to find much useful info
on linux-gate.so.1
I don't seem to find a lot about what vdso is either; could you please
enlighten me and point me to some locations where I can read up about
this feature ?
Anyway, this fixed our mach problems, so I'll look at integrating this
somewhere.
