HI Bruno,

There’s no such documentation.  However, for applications that follow
“good practices”, there really isn’t any porting to do.

These should be avoided; it’s not Guix-specific, but the problem is
obviously more acute here.  What Guix packages do is patch them.

It’s in the glibc package:

  ls $(guix build glibc | grep '[0-9]$')/lib

What’s your use case?

>   - libtool, ldconfig issues

‘ldconfig’ is not used.  Nothing special for Libtool.
Do you have something in mind?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
