The behavior of --strip-unneeded and --strip-all are same for
executables and shared libraries. For static libraries,
--strip-unneeded keeps the symbols needed for relocation processing so
it won't break static archives.
Move coreutils library from /usr/libexec to /usr/lib in both
Chapter 6 and Chapter 8.
Text updates in chapter08/pkgmgt.xml and chapter09/locale.xml.
Restore deletion of hanging test in chapter08/util-linux.xml.
Text changes in stripping and make instruction compatible with jhalfs.
Glibc loads these "NSS modules" (see man 5 nss) on startup. This is
implemented with something like dlopen() so "ldd" won't show them up.
So they should be considered "online" here.
Without this addition, overwriting libnss_files-2.33.so reproducibly
triggers a crash during jhalfs runs where stripping is enabled. In
manual builds, it reproducibly triggers a crash exiting from chroot.
After this change I reran stripping 5 times and there was no crash
observed.
In stripping, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/find, and /usr/bin/strip are
running. Strip them, and all libraries used by them in /tmp, then
install them back.
We can't use this for all libraries or binaries: the process above
discouples hard links (for example /usr/bin/perl and perl5.34.0). So
unfortunately the stripping instruction is now a stupidly long bash
script...
Update to meson-0.58.0
Update to systemd-248
Update to gcc-11.1.0
Update to linux-5.12.1
Update to iproute2-5.12.0
Update to Python-3.9.5
Make /bin, /sbin, and /lib symlinks to their counterparts in /usr.
Thanks again for a significant portion of this work goes to Xi, I only
really merged it and made a couple of modifications for my updates. To
LFS 11.x we go!
