+
+Statifier combines a dynamically linked executable with its libraries
+into one large file. The result can be easier to distribute and may
+allow a 32-bit binary to run on a 64-bit-only system.
+
+Notes:
+
+1. To get statifier to work properly, VDSO support must be disabled in
+   the kernel. This must be done on the system statifier is being run on,
+   before it's run. The converted binaries themselves don't require this,
+   only statifier itself. If you forget to do this, statifier will appear
+   to run OK, but the converted binaries will segfault when run.
+
+   For 32-bit systems only, this can be done without a reboot.
+   Execute this as root:
+
+   echo "0" > /proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled
+
+   ...and to re-enable VDSO, replace the "0" with "1".
+
+   For 64-bit systems, you must use kernel parameters, meaning a reboot is
+   required. At the lilo (elilo, grub, etc) prompt, enter:
+
+   linux vdso=0 vdso32=0
+
+   ...or add 'append="vdso=0 vdso32=0"' to the kernel image section in
+   /etc/lilo.conf to make it permanent (not recommended).
+
+   If you run statifier with VDSO enabled, it will remind you to disable it.
+
+2. Executables converted with statifier will show up as dynamic, in
+   'file' output, but ldd will say 'not a dynamic executable'.
+
+3. Converting 32-bit executables on a 64-bit system requires multilib
+   and probably a 32-bit statifier package. The SlackBuild maintainer
+   hasn't tested multilib, and would be interested to know what kind of
+   results you get with it.
