Carlos O'Donell bbba55c221 ld.so.8: Expand DT_RUNPATH details.
ld.so.8: Expand DT_RUNPATH details.

Every 3 years we get asked why DT_RUNPATH doesn't work like DT_RPATH.
The most recent question was here:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-help/2017-06/msg00013.html

We need to expand the description of DT_RUNPATH to cover this situation
and explain that the DT_RUNPATH entries apply only to the immediate
DT_NEEDED, not that of another, say dlopen'd child object.

Applies to master.

README

This package contains Linux man pages for sections 1 through 8.  Some
more information is given in the 'man-pages-x.y.Announce' file.

Installing and uninstalling
===========================
"make install" will copy these man pages to /usr/share/man/man[1-8].

To install to a path different from /usr, use
"make install prefix=/install/path".

"make remove" or "make uninstall" will remove any man page in this
distribution from its destination.  Use with caution, and remember to
use "prefix" if desired, as with the "install" target.

"make" or "make all" will perform "make uninstall" followed by "make
install".

Man page overlap and duplication
================================
Note that sometimes these pages are duplicates of pages also distributed
in other packages.  This has been reported about:
