Many Linux distributions and package managers audit just-built binaries for non-relocatable absolute paths. But with GCC on x86-64, string constants don. Many[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Linux distributions and package managers audit just-built binaries for non-relocatable absolute paths. If a binary contains a path /path/from/build/machine, it might not run on the end-user's machine. $ strings bin/app | grep /path/from/build/machine using GNU binutils's strings will detect these paths, right?
