Note that ELF supports linking a shared library against a shared library, so you could link libc against this to get the functions "into the base C library". This has the advantage that it keeps the code seperate, but will not load it into core and take up space by default, since the default is RTLD_LAZY for shared library bindings. PS: The linker should treat this as RTLD_PRELOAD for the purposes of symbol resolution, when linking a program image, such that you don't get executables which link successfully, but fail to run because of runtime symbol loading failures. PPS: The resolver library should be handed the same way, to better facilitate upgrades.
