I think this is a little bit outdated. We only have one number after =20
the .so since a long time. All libs in /lib and /usr/lib are .so.X and =20
for 3rd party applications most are .so.X (those which aren't are a =20
sign of bugs in the ports collection). On one of my systems 1.2% are =20
not .so.X:

% ls -1 | grep .so. | wc -l
539
% ls -1 | grep .so. | egrep '\.so\.[0-9]\.[0-9]' | wc -l
7

No. Those FreeBSD versions which used a.out instead of ELF are not =20
supported anymore since a very very long time. We still are able to =20
load a.out stuff in the current releases, but the entire compiler =20
toolchain is using ELF by default. You have to make some effort to =20
generate a.out stuff.
Bye,
Alexander.
