My link line to gcc includes the following two entries in succession:
-lrt
-lpam
And this appears expanded as:
/usr/lib64/librt.so /usr/lib/libpam.so
Why is rt resolved to lib64 whereas pam is resolved to lib and consequently fails:
/usr/lib/libpam.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format
Since it is only 32 bit ELF. There is a /usr/lib64/libpam.so with is 64 bit ELF, why isn't it taken?
