-In /usr/lib/ there's a _SETUID_ libfakeroot.
-
-However, it's a *fake* fakeroot -- it doesn't wrap any `interesting'
-functions (check with `nm -D /usr/lib/libfakeroot.so').
-
-It was needed, because we need the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable set.
-But, with it set, $LD_PRELOAD cannot start with a / anymore.
-And, if $LD_PRELOAD doesn't start with a slash, then for
-some strange reason (BUG, if you ask me), ld.so starts looking
-for $LD_PRELOAD, even if the binary is has the suid bit set.
-
-OK, that would be *REALLY* bad (anyone starting `fakeroot su' would
-gain root). But, fortunately, ld.so *does* ignore LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
-However, now ld.so cannot find the $LD_PRELOAD library any more,
-and it refuses to load the binary.
-
-
-Apparently, the *only* way to fix this, was to put a fake libfakeroot
-in /usr/lib/libfakeroot.so, and set it's suid bit.
-
-So, that's why.
-
-Annoyed is,
-joostje.
