Update.
1999-01-21 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com>
* elf/dl-close.c: Rewrite the way adding to the global scope works
to handle error cases better than the last change.
The l_global flag is now only set when the object is actually
counted in the global scope list.
* elf/dl-deps.c: Likewise.
* elf/dl-open.c: Likewise.
