Description Orion Poplawski 2011-11-30 21:46:46 UTC
Description of problem:

ldd -u reports linux-gate.so.1 as an unused dep.  This was not the case with glibc-2.13.2 (Fedora 14) or 2.14 (Fedora 15).

# ldd -u /usr/lib/libzip.so.1
Unused direct dependencies:
        linux-gate.so.1
        /lib/libz.so.1

Since it appears to be ubiquitous, I think it still shouldn't be listed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
glibc-common-2.14.90-19.i686

Comment 1 Ozan Çağlayan 2011-12-15 11:05:40 UTC
It's not the bug of ldd but the dynamic loader lists the linux-gate/vdso as an unused direct dependency in elf/rtld.c
