That's by design. Although it looks like one, runtime_loader is not a
regular executable and cannot be executed.
Sure - but is a crash that invokes the debugger the best way to handle
runtime_loader invoking itself?
~> ln -s /system/runtime_loader test
~> ./test
runtime_loader: /boot/system/runtime_loader: Could not find .comment section
runtime_loader: /boot/system/runtime_loader: Failed to get gcc version.
(debugger invoked)
Is there another test I can run to determine if my packaged
runtime_loader is being loaded and executed?
"listattr -l /system/runtime_loader" will tell you which package the
file originates from.
I see some definite differences between the package the loaded and my
package. I think I am missing some metadata:
~> listattr -l /system/runtime_loader
File: /system/runtime_loader
