+Subject: [PATCH] ldso: read the .path file from /etc when the loader is in
+ /usr/lib
+
+musl looks for ld-musl-$ARCH.path in the etc directory next to the
+directory of the dynamic linker, as named by PT_INTERP. With usrmerge
+OE puts /usr/lib/ld-musl-$ARCH.so.1 into PT_INTERP, so musl opens
+/usr/etc/ld-musl-$ARCH.path while the file is installed in /etc.
+
+Treat a /usr prefix as the root, so /usr/lib/ld-musl-$ARCH.so.1 reads
+/etc/ld-musl-$ARCH.path like /lib/ld-musl-$ARCH.so.1 does.
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [oe-core specific]
