prebuilt libraries "unknown reloc type 19"

[tfortier]

I am trying to load third party, prebuilt libraries.

I did "readelf -d" on all of the libraries and found I needed:
libc.so.6
libpthread.so.0
ld-linux.so.3
libdl.so.2

I pushed the libs to /system/lib and /data/data/<package>/lib and the
it can find all of the dependencies but fails on libc.so.6

logcat outputs - "could not load needed library 'libc.so.6' for
'liba.so' (reloc_library[1288]: 541 unknown reloc type 19)"

I'm not sure where to go next here.

It looks like you're trying to load GLibc (libc.so.6) with the Android dynamic linker, more precisely

that you're trying to dlopen() libc.so.6 from an Android process.

This is not supported, as a C library and its dynamic linker are carefully dependent on each other for various technical reasons.

Is there a way to get around this statically with the libs mentioned
above?

I very much doubt it, these libraries include a C library and a pthread implementation that are sure to conflict with the existing Android ones.

The only solution would be to generate a static executable program (which only relies on the Linux kernel). However, this would not be a proper

Android application (no manifest, no set of permissions, etc..) and is not guaranteed to run properly.
