Win32 Is The Only Stable ABI on Linux — I think this whole situation shows why creating native games for Linux is challenging. It’s hard to blame developers for targeting Windows and relying on Wine + friends. It’s just much more stable and much less likely to break and stay broken.

The ABI status of ELF hash tables — If EAC were free software, of course, chances are there would already be a patch circulating to deal with the problem. As it is, only its owner can deal with this problem directly. Meanwhile, though, there is another workaround available: distributors can easily patch the glibc build to restore the DT_HASH section and make the problem go away for now.

Glibc 2.36 Dropping DTHASH Has Been Breaking Easy Anti Cheat Games — The breakage stems from the DTHASH section being dropped in GNU C Library but EAC being among the few software still expecting that section rather than DTGNUHASH.
Pierre-Loup Griffais on Twitter — Unfortunate that upstream glibc discussion on DTHASH isn't coming out strongly in favor of prioritizing compatibility with pre-existing applications. Every such instance contributes to damaging the idea of desktop Linux as a viable target for third-party developers.
Carlos O’Donell on Twitter — How far should Linux ELF follow the generic ELF standard (gABI)? We recently let distributions drop DTHASH from glibc builds (mandatory under the gABI). This broke EPIC's Easy Anti-Cheat. We should ask the gABI for DTHASH to be optional.
