In fact the games still do crap like this. Best way to find this is to take an a.out system (i.e. w/ a.out binaries) with ELF rtld & libs (it can build both ELF and a.out binaries) and run buildworld. caeser and strfile are built, but the old (a.out binaries) ones are run. This results in a.out binaries trying to use ELF shared libs from the chroot'd enviroment. All in all, not fun, but not a huge deal either, as it's pretty much assumed you're using binaries that are compatable with the ones you're building. - alex | "Contrary to popular belief, penguins are not the salvation of modern | | technology.
