After installing the satisfiable dependencies, use +`dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc -d` to ignore SELinux and libc6-dev dependencies. + +It is unclear whether it also does work. The testsuite (run manually) does +*FAIL* on all tests, which is due to the prelinker doing something to the +copied `ld.so.1` so that it faults on every invocation. This does not happen +on GNU/Linux. + +Not much in the prelinker is Linux-specific. `src/get.c`'s `is_ldso_soname` +should already cover our `ld.so.1` case (and what about `ld.so`?). At the end +of `src/arch-i386.c`, `.dynamic_linker` has to be set properly. And, in that +file there are some Linux process VM constants, of which `REG2S` and `REG2E` +are the only relevant in the `!exec_shield` case. Probably these need to be +adjusted. What else? |
