I agree with the conclusions drawn here, but feel that it's possibly
worth making a stronger general statement that policy should never
prevent the implementation of a well-considered simple solution. I would

The SONAME of this library changed, but the ABI did not. There's no
benefit in forcing users to rebuild, and I'm unclear on how this
violates policy, so I'm downgrading the severity to unblock migration.

As described in http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/20/371 , various wireless

Right. I can build a working binary if I do two things:

2) Use plain binutils-2.16.1, and not binutils-2.16.1cvs20060117
