Linking problem with RedHat 5 and other glibc 2.x.x based Linux-systems
=======================================================================


To avoid problem do the following 2 steps:
------------------------------------------

1) Create two emty objectfiles crtbegin.o and crtend.o and place it
   inside /usr/lib/

	You can do it in the following way
	-----------------------------------
	
	echo "manmathan1 () {}\n" > crtbegin.c
	echo "manmathan2 () {}\n" > crtend.c
	gcc -c crtbegin.c crtend.c
	mv crtbegin.o crtend.o /usr/lib/

2) Set the eviroment variable BELALINKOPTIONS to:
   -m elf_i386 -dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux.so.1 -dc -dp -Bstatic -X

    From bash:
    ----------
    export BETALINKOPTIONS='-m elf_i386 -dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux.so.1 -dc -dp -Bstatic -X'

    From tcsh:
    ----------
    setenv BETALINKOPTIONS '-m elf_i386 -dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux.so.1 -dc -dp -Bstatic -X'


The next release of Mjolner System should work fine with the newer C-libraries,
without any adjustments.

Sincerely,
