It turns out that libc_psr.so.1 is an =
"auxiliary" library in the dynamic
sections of some libraries and not others.  This appears to be why it is
listed by ldd for libc.so, but not libdl.so.  The library itself appears
to define platform specific optimized functions for memcpy and others.=20
The functions that it defines are weakly bounded in libc.  Just thought
I'd let everyone know.
