Ok, I'm going to blow up here...

People  PLEASE drop this topic.  It is being addressed -- maybe not as
fast as people like, but it is being addressed.

I really, REALLY don't understand why all of a sudden this problem is
comming up when the compat22 distribution was made a while ago.  Also, I
install the compat* distributions and forget about them.  I've never had
ld.so problems.  I really don't understand why so many people want to
reinstall the compatXX files with every ``make world''.  But I guess we
do support such functionality, so someone should use it.

So are people deleting ld.so before evey ``make world''.  I also never
make the a.out libs.  Remember any a.out libs made with "WANT_AOUT" will
be 3.2 libs with the same functional contents as the ELF ones.
