Description Florian Weimer 2019-08-12 09:32:56 UTC
Bug 786638 updated the manual and included this:

+@item --enable-hardcoded-path-in-tests
+By default, dynamic tests are linked to run with the installed C library.
+This option hardcodes the newly built C library path in dynamic tests
+so that they can be invoked directly.

However, the glibc build system does not actually support this option.
