Just tried this on an older box, and it worked. Libc version 2.5 $ /lib/libc.so.6 | head -1 GNU C Library stable release version 2.5, by Roland McGrath et al. On Ubuntu 10.04 LTS I hit the assertion they talk about, and it fails: $ LD_AUDIT="\$ORIGIN" exec /proc/self/fd/3 Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 231: dl_open_worker: Assertion `(call_map)->l_name[0] == '\0'' failed!
