The new facility to specify an alternate ABI root path was added to the man:namei[9]. -Previously, to dynamically reroot lookups, every man:linux[4] syscall where path names translation is needed required a bit of ugly code and used `kern_alternate_path()` which does not properly resolved symlinks with leading `/` in the target. -For now a non-native ABI (i.e., man:linux[4]) uses one call to `pwd_altroot()` during exec-time into that ABI to specify it's root directory (e.g., [.filename]#/compat/ubuntu#) and forget about path names translation. -That is made possible to chroot into the Ubuntu compat without having to fix such symlinks by hand. +Previously, to dynamically reroot lookups, every man:linux[4] syscall where path names translation is needed required a bit of ugly code and used `kern_alternate_path()` which does not properly resolve symlinks with leading `/` in the target. +For now a non-native ABI (i.e., man:linux[4]) uses one call to `pwd_altroot()` during exec-time into that ABI to specify its root directory (e.g., [.filename]#/compat/ubuntu#) and forget about path names translation. +That makes possible chroot into the Ubuntu compat without having to fix such symlinks by hand. In total, over 10 bugs were fixed; glibc-2.37 tests suite reports less than 70 failed tests.
