I wrote up the outcome of me fucking about with some odd ELF libraries, which took me down a rabbit hole of figuring out how the build-time and run-time linkers depend on different (and redundant) sources of truth but eventually resulted in victory: https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/69070.html

@mjg59 but also why did Synology build their libraries this way?

@hmoffatt They're slightly smaller as a result but not to any significant degree so I'd guess it's to make it harder for people to fuck with them

@mjg59 I enjoyed reading that. Hazy memories of working on a little tool that read ELF binaries to tell you why the modem firmware no longer fitted in RAM. Almost all my commercial coding to date went into that one summer long ago ;-). Worked well IIRC.

@mjg59 I'm a fan of this, and of learning anything neat you figure out re: your Synology.Mine got ransomwared recently, and while I reset it, and locked things down, I was tripped up repeatedly by stuff buried in synology's proprietary libs. It'd be neat to know more about what's embedded in there!
