Update.
1999-01-21  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@cygnus.com>

	* elf/dl-close.c: Rewrite the way adding to the global scope works
	to handle error cases better than the last change.
	The l_global flag is now only set when the object is actually
	counted in the global scope list.
	* elf/dl-deps.c: Likewise.
	* elf/dl-open.c: Likewise.
