We ship an application on FreeBSD (along with a few other platforms),
and we currently generate the FreeBSD version on a 2.1.6 box. Our 3.0
CDs arrived late last week, and I spent part of the weekend installing
it on a scratch machine. I've been pleased with what I've seen so far,
with one exception.

When I install a 2.1.6 copy of our application and try running it I
get told

	ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libc.so.2.2"

I installed all the compatibility libraries on this system, so I did a
little investigating.  I *have* a libc.so.2.2 library in
/usr/lib/compat, but not in /usr/lib/compat/aout.  If I understand
correctly that means I have the compatibility libraries, but only in
the new ELF format.

That seems sufficiently bizarre that I guess I haven't understood
correctly.  Could some kind soul explain?
