A turning point for GNU libcA turning point for GNU libcPosted Apr 1, 2012 1:54 UTC (Sun) by BenHutchings (subscriber, #37955)In reply to: A turning point for GNU libc by kleptog Parent article: A turning point for GNU libc If you want a program to run on older versions of glibc, you need to use the old interface definitions and the old symbol versions. Just overriding the symbol versions will generally result in your program corrupting data or crashing.

You'll also need the versions of libc_nonshared.a and libpthread_nonshared.a that belong to the version of glibc you're trying to use those versioned symbols from (this is one reason why arbitrary .o files are not safe to keep across glibc upgrades). All told it is sufficiently hard to make this work that it's not really worth bothering.

Yeah. I was talking about doing it by hand, yourself. :)
