Subject: Re: _PATH_LASTLOG
Ta.
Would it be possible to have the "/dev/null/xxx" paths' values as an option
to ./configure?
Actually, it would be very useful to be able to ./configure all the other
hard coded paths in musl, eg the default dynamlic linker search path. When
running with a setup like Nixos, or the like, these paths need to be
different. Of course, one can patch, but that's not sustainable in the long
run.
Please?
