But, actually, most of the reasons of the HEADS UP gone with the aout format: The aout linker choose the library with the highest version number to link the binary against. So, if you have libcrypt.so.3.0 and libcrypt.so.2.0, it will choose libcrypt.so.3.0. Of course, if /usr/src build libcrypt.so.2.0, you are in danger. The ELF linker look only at the libcrypt.so symlink. So, there is no harm if you have libcrypt.so.3 or libcrypt.so.999, as long as the symlink point to libcrypt.so.2. That is, not a much to worry about. > ... beginning with sources which don't > seem to want to compile yet,... FWIW, make buildworld just finished here.
