Michael Kerrisk e5e9497f35 ld.so.8: Describe use of LD_DEBUG with LD_BIND_NOT
Signed-off-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com>

Michael Kerrisk a3a72ad210 ld.so.8: LD_BIND_NOT has effect only for function symbols
As far as I can tell from testing and a short read of the glibc
source code, LD_BIND_NOT has an effect only for function symbols.
This is consistent also with the Solaris documentation, which
says:

    When the runtime linker performs a function relocation, it
    rewrites data associated with the functions .plt so that any
    subsequent calls will go directly to the function. The
    environment variable LD_BIND_NOT can be set to any value to
    prevent this data update. By using this variable together
    with the debugging request for detailed bindings, you can
    get a complete runtime account of all function binding.

Test case:

$ cat prog.c

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    for (;;) {
	sleep(1);
	optind = 0;
    }

    exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
$ cc prog.c

And then in the run below, in each loop, we see repeated resolutions
only for the function symbol, sleep() (and not for optind).

$ LD_BIND_NOT=1 LD_DEBUG=symbols,bindings ./a.out
