4.4-beta shared libs

[Edd Barrett]

Hi,

Can I safely assume that 4.4-beta binaries will be compatible with
4.4-release? That is, no shared libraries major number will be bumped.

Thanks

This was intended for misc@ sorry. Er.. I guess I'll leave it here to
avoid spamming.

  

Umm...No, that would be a completely wrong assumption to make.

Due to the changes in libc and libm, the following steps have to be 
taken before the rest of the system is built.

You can assume nothing until release.
