Oh bother. I bought a copy of XIG's Motif 2.0 a couple of months ago. The CD has BSDI, FreeBSD & Linux binaries on it. The linux binaries are ELF, but I don't know how deeply libXm et cetera delve into linux's libc. I wonder if I could hit them for an upgrade when 3.0-RELEASE hits the street. Then there's the Xfree86 code to be rebuilt for ELF format.
