            Bug ID: 16710
           Summary: The option --dynamic-linker does not work for shared
                    libraries
           Product: binutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: ld
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: sstewartgallus00 at mylangara dot bc.ca

The option --dynamic-linker does not work when linking shared libraries.
The documentation says this is not meaningful for shared libraries.
The documentation is wrong.
Consider, a shared library that is both executable and a shared library (like
GLibc).
In that case the .interp section and the dynamic-linker option make perfect
sense and so this option should work.
At the very least ld should give an error and not just silently fail to do
anything.
