  Emacs is linked.  With LD_RUN_PATH set, the linker will include a
  specified run-time search path in the executable.
  
+ On some systems, Emacs could crash due to problems with dynamic
+ linking.  Specifically, on SGI Irix 6.5, crashes were reported with
+ backtraces like this:
+ 
+   (dbx) where
+    0 strcmp(0xf49239d, 0x4031184, 0x40302b4, 0x12, 0xf0000000, 0xf4923aa, 
0x0, 0x492ddb2) 
["/xlv22/ficus-jan23/work/irix/lib/libc/libc_n32_M3_ns/strings/strcmp.s":35, 
0xfb7e480]
+    1 general_find_symbol(0xf49239d, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0xf0000000, 0xf4923aa, 
0x0, 0x492ddb2)
+  ["/comp2/mtibuild/v73/workarea/v7.3/rld/rld.c":2140, 0xfb65a98]
+    2 resolve_symbol(0xf49239d, 0x4031184, 0x0, 0xfbdd438, 0x0, 0xf4923aa, 
0x0, 0x492ddb2)
+  ["/comp2/mtibuild/v73/workarea/v7.3/rld/rld.c":1947, 0xfb657e4]
+    3 lazy_text_resolve(0xd18, 0x1a3, 0x40302b4, 0x12, 0xf0000000, 0xf4923aa, 
0x0, 0x492ddb2)
+  ["/comp2/mtibuild/v73/workarea/v7.3/rld/rld.c":997, 0xfb64d44]
+    4 _rld_text_resolve(0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0)
+  ["/comp2/mtibuild/v73/workarea/v7.3/rld/rld_bridge.s":175, 0xfb6032c]
+ 
+ (`rld' is the dynamic linker.)  We don't know yet why does this
+ happen, but setting the environment variable LD_BIND_NOW to 1 (which
+ forces the dynamic linker to bind all shared objects early on) seems
+ to work around the problem.
+ 
  Please refer to the documentation of your dynamic linker for details.
