$ ./polyfill-glibc --target-glibc=2.17 /path/to/my-program
This often leads to discovering new version incompatibilities in other libs. But as the article says others usually can be statically compiled.
- vlovich123 2y agoWow. This is huge. This patch doesn’t risk weird runtime errors due to missing polyfills or anything? Does it risk polyfilling irrelevant functions that aren’t referenced and bloating?
- therein 2y agoVery cool. Glad someone finally made this.
