What would be the appropriate fix? Since this might be the last aout build people do, I'd prefer that we build and install everything as aout, just in case the elf build doesn't replace some of the bits. I know you can analyse the process and prove that some things can be left out because they surely get replaced, but my fear is that this will allow room for foot shooting as people try to be clever. People only need to run the transition build once.
