I can not change the program interpreter at compile time

**nigga-man** · 10-01-2017

My program:

Code:

const char my_interp[] __attribute__((section(".interp"))) = "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2";

int main(){}

i compile and I checked the interpreter:

Code:

a.out: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, not stripped

Why did not the interpreter change?

Because the compiler driver tells the linker to do otherwise.

Maybe you need to pass another option to the compiler.
LD: Options

I'll leave you to figure out how to get the compiler to pass options to the linker.

i run:

ld -dynamic-linker /lib/libiw.so test.o
ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 000000000040014b

and run file:
./a.out
bash: ./a.out: No such file or directory

What the????

file a.out
a.out: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, interpreter /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, not stripped

help!

What problem are you actually trying to solve by changing the interpreter?
It's such an obscure thing to want to do.
