Subject: patch for libdl/dlReloc.c (ultrix only)
Date: Wed, 14 Sep 94 16:23:01 -0700
Message-ID: <199409142323.QAA02312@faerie.CS.Berkeley.EDU> (raw)

if you have a mips/ultrix box with the R4400 processor upgrade, e.g.,
the 5000/50, 5000/150, 5000/260, 5000/280 or the upgraded 5900 server,
you must apply the following patch to src/tools/libdl/dlReloc.c in
order to make the dynamic loader work.

if you have some doubt as to your current processor type, you can do
something like
	% /etc/uerf -R -r 300 | grep 'CPU TYPE' | head -1
to find out.  (or bug your sysadmin.  do whatever comes naturally.)

the patch doesn't seem to be necessary for R2000/R3000 boxes.
