32-bit route(8) on amd64 host and jails

[Devin Teske]

I'm noticing that a 32-bit route(8) shows strange behaviour while running under an amd64 kernel (regardless of whether in the base-host -- utilizing /usr/lib32/libc.so.7 -- or in a jail and/or vimage -- 32-bit in nature; results are same).

Executable runs fine, but you can't (a) set the default route or (b) view the default route (after successfully setting it with the amd64 build, of course).

ASIDE: This is under 8.1-RELEASE.

When attempting to set the default route, you get the following...

root at kps0a / # route add -net default 10.10.125.99
route: writing to routing socket: Invalid argument
add net default: gateway 10.10.125.99: Invalid argument

Meanwhile, using the amd64 version, no issues.

When attempting to view the default route, you get the following...

root at kps0a / # route -n get default
   route to: default
destination: default
       mask: default
    gateway: default
      flags: <UP,GATEWAY,DONE,STATIC>
 recvpipe  sendpipe  ssthresh  rtt,msec    mtu        weight    expire
       0         0         0         0         0         0  -1316570637 

It's the "gateway: default" that's out of place.

Now, where jails and/or vimages come into play is that I can't seem to come up with an elegant solution to this.

Copying-in an amd64 build of route(8) is not the "simple" solution it seems as it will then expect a new /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1(which you can't just go replacing because it will break all the 32-bit binaries inside the jail).

Maybe, doing the opposite of what the base host does ... (the base has /usr/libexec/ld-elf32.so.1). That is, create /usr/libexec/ld-elf64.so.1 to interpret the drop-in route(8)?
