[ CC peter jones ]

Ok, so even if we build kexec-tools statically with glibc, we have the
issue of name service switch modules. glibc will still do dlopen on
these modules. So what are options now.

- Sign glibc and associated shared libraries. Do not allow unsigned
  shared library to dynamically link with signed executable.

- Peter mentioned that work with uClibc for kexec-tools.

I personally think that however hard it is but first option sounds like
a long term solution. We might have more user space processes which
we might have to trust a generic solution will help with that. For example,
we might have to sign and trust qemu at some point of time.

Are there other ways of handing glibc issue?

Thanks
Vivek
