A recent libnuma potential corruption problem solution suggests that libnuma could change in the future so as to not spew to stderr. This then raises a question how top could exploit any such library change since we are currently locked into version #1 of the library by way of our dlopen("libnuma.so.1", RTLD_LAZY) runtime call. While not an ultimate solution, this commit will first try for the most recent version of that library during top's startup before trying the original libnuma.so.1. We do this via the unqualified library soname symlink. For this new dlopen() call to succeed, technically the numa 'devel' package would usually have been required, but that's not always true with every distro. And when the libnuma.so symlink isn't present, it can always be manually added should a newer & better behaved library arrive & users tire of the stderr warning at top exit.

./autogen.sh
After that, and everyone using .tar.xz version of procps-ng, can
do normal build. Read './configure --help' to select options for
your needs.
./configure
make
make install
If you have DejaGNU installed you can run optional test suite.
make check
HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
See Documentation/BUGS file.
PACKAGING
If you are a downstream maintainer (packager) for a Linux
distribution, please avoid causing troubles. This section
applies to you.
Avoid maintaining distribution specific patches. Send your
patches to upstream, where they are at least reviewed, if not
included.
Please forward bug reports. If your bug database is public and
busy enough to bother with, please make this known. Follow
Debian's lead in making the bug database easy to comment on via
email without need for an account.
For normal packages, ensure that you do not add debugging flags
to the CFLAGS variable.
