             Bug #: 14171
           Summary: Clean up shlib-versions
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: hjl.tools@gmail.com

shlib-versions uses target triplets for alternate
sonames for different ABI variants, which leads
to PR 14112.  A stopgap fix is proposed for GLIBC
2.16 on hjl/abi branch at

http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=patch;h=0d1f492b3cf83a200601c1f49734b048c5547e57

It should be fixed properly in GLIBC 2.17.

Joseph suggested that we should name ABI variants, not triplets,
in shlib-versions, with all the architecture information
in shlib-versions moving to appropriate sysdeps directories
shared by all the ABI variants of each architecture.
