[New-bugs-announce] [issue44759] ctype generates misleading error-msg opening lib.so when compiled for wrong arch

[Stephan Bökelmann]

New submission from Stephan Bökelmann <stephan.boekelmann at gruppe.ai>:

When trying to open a lib.so that has been compiled for a different architecture an error-msg is emitted saying. "no such file or directory" 

this is misleading behavior. changing the error-msg to. "library not compatible with architecture" would have saved me an hour of work ;)
