CONFIG_USELIB: uselib syscall (for libc5 and earlier)

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_USELIB has multiple definitions:

uselib syscall (for libc5 and earlier) found in init/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_USELIB:

• prompt: uselib syscall (for libc5 and earlier)
• type: bool
• depends on: (none)
• defined in init/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 5.19, 6.0–6.12, 6.13-rc+HEAD

Help text

This option enables the uselib syscall, a system call used in the dynamic linker from libc5 and earlier. glibc does not use this system call. If you intend to run programs built on libc5 or earlier, you may need to enable this syscall. Current systems running glibc can safely disable this.
