commit 97f13188c9fbafeaab89146996b3cce1f4952b5e Author: Dmitry V. Levin Date: Tue Dec 19 21:06:23 2017 +0000 elf: remove redundant code from _dl_dst_substitute There are just two users of _dl_dst_substitute: one is expand_dst that sets is_path argument to 0, another one is expand_dynamic_string_token. The latter function also has just two users: one is _dl_map_object that sets is_path argument to 0, another one is fillin_rpath that sets is_path argument to 1 and name argument contains no ':'. In any case (is_path && name[i] == ':') is always false and all code depending on it can be safely removed. * elf/dl-load.c (_dl_dst_substitute): Remove checks that is_path is set and name contains ':', and all code depending on these checks.
