Use of secure_getenv even when compiled with old toolchain

help
1

Hi all,

secure_getenv was introduced in GLIBC 2.17.

I compile my software using an odd toolchain, namely one with GLIBC 2.12 where secure_getenv is not available using gcc-8.3.0

The result binary, does contains a reference to secure_getenv:

$ objdump -T ~/Downloads/redisql_v1.0.1_x86_64.so | grep secure -C 5
0000000000000000      DF *UND*	0000000000000000  GLIBC_2.2.5 syscall
0000000000000000      DF *UND*	0000000000000000  GLIBC_2.2.5 strcspn
0000000000000000      DF *UND*	0000000000000000  GLIBC_2.2.5 pthread_condattr_init
0000000000000000      DF *UND*	0000000000000000  GLIBC_2.2.5 rewind
0000000000000000      DF *UND*	0000000000000000  GLIBC_2.2.5 bind
0000000000000000      D  *UND*	0000000000000000              secure_getenv ### <--- here
0000000000000000      DF *UND*	0000000000000000  GLIBC_2.2.5 socket
0000000000000000      DF *UND*	0000000000000000  GLIBC_2.2.5 pthread_mutex_trylock
0000000000000000      DF *UND*	0000000000000000  GLIBC_2.3.4 __vfprintf_chk
0000000000000000      DF *UND*	0000000000000000  GLIBC_2.2.5 dl_iterate_phdr
0000000000000000      DF *UND*	0000000000000000  GLIBC_2.2.5 nanosleep

As you can see something is odd, since the line about secure_getenv is the only one without the version of GLIBC.

What is happening in this case? Who decide what symbols are needed?

How can I tell it to don't use secure_getenv?

Any ideas?
