At least I'm in the running with you. That said on my 12.2-RELEASE-p4 system I get: cat /usr/lib/libc.so /* $FreeBSD: releng/12.2/lib/libc/libc.ldscript 258283 2013-11-17 22:52:17Z peter $ */ GROUP ( /lib/libc.so.7 /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a /usr/lib/libssp_nonshared.a ) My guess is that is a way of telling various flavors of firefox which dynamic lib to use.
