Valve runs its PC gaming ecosystem with only about 350 employees
- sylware 2y agoDoes this explain why they are unable to provide a steam client made of clean elf64 binaries? Namely ELF NEEDED entries with only glibc libs (no libgcc nor libstdc++ with -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ compiling/linking options) and ABI selection using the ".symver" binutils gas directive (see binutils VERSION documentation, and targetting an ABI from 2017-2019, yes they would have to look at readelf -a -W output), dynamically loading system interface shared libs: libasound, libvulkan->libglvnd, xcb-libs if no wayland (code is statically linked), libxkbcommon(-x11), and that's it. That avoiding weird or too recent ELF relocations (the brand new "relative" one added by a &$#*@ genius for instance, even though it is still not used as far as I know, should be benign though).
