I tried to build up elfkit but had big trouble to compile the
patched libc (2.1.0). Are there any newer patches available ?
Best would be, if one could use -current's libc, then the 
header files certainly would fit better ...

BTW, what about switching totally to elf ?! Then such a hack
wouldn't be necessary in the future.

I think ELF is currently _the_ standard. Generic compatibility
to commercial applications should be one big aim ...

Linux went from a.out to ELF, too. Ok, there was a must, but
we should do, too.
