Yeah, and were it not for Maple's explicit complaints about wanting
ld-linux.so.1 I might be in good shape.
As for installing both, I get tons of complaints when installing off the
ports because 6 and 7.1 have different versions of glibc and then the
ports makefile quits:
file /usr/bin/catchsegv from install of glibc-common-2.2.2-10 conflicts
with file from package glibc-2.1.2-11 (apparently 6 uses 2.1.2-11 and 7.1
uses 2.1.2-10. Should I change that to 2.1.2-11 in linux_base's
makefile?)
I just installed netscape-4.79 off the ports.
Let's do a little test:
So here we have linux_base7.1.
$ file /usr/local/lib/netscape-linux/communicator-linux-4.79.bin

libs), stripped
$ netscape
communicator-linux-4.79.bin: locale `C' not supported.
Perhaps the $XNLSPATH environment variable is not set correctly?
No plugin Citrix ICA Client. Reverting to save-to-disk for type
application/x-ica.

So it would seem communicator-4.79 is branded svr4 by default from the
ports, it will not execute under linux_base7.1 branded as either svr4 or
linux. It will run under linux_base6 with either svr4 or linux brands if
svr4.ko is unloaded, but must be branded linux if svr4.ko is loaded.
