True.

It won't fix it. It just sweeps it under the carpet. This is a decision

Now, as also reported in a comment to #103204, the patch works only
for /usr/lib -> /lib, but it doesn't help for libraries that are
stored in /X11R6/lib.
Now, I guess that fixing the patch should be trivial, but a

Hi all,
I have read some mails about this X issue... and wondered
if it would be difficult to compile the /usr/X11R6/lib in ld.so?
Someone argued that /etc/ldso.conf is a linux thing, but
would it be that hard to modify the ld.so to try both
/lib and /usr/X11R6/lib? Or make it read a similar file
ioned above?

Although not at all ideal, wouldn't it also be possible to:
(d)
I don't think the situation will get better by ignoring it.
All shared libraries in /X11R6/lib are broken as-shipped. The dynamic
loader simply can't find them until told by setting up of
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This won't work for s[ug]id programs.

Hi
OK, now it's done. The only filename clash I had was rstartd, which
lives in /usr/X11R6/bin but has a symlink in /usr/bin. Both are in
package xutils, so I just removed the symlink, hoping for the best.
Simple x-applications (xcalc) still work, and compiling seems not to
have worsen

Right. Same for /usr/X11R6/man and /usr/X11R6/include. It should be easy.

Yes, perhaps an even better idea would be to replace /X11R6 with a
symlink to ".". I this time, I took the safe route replacing only
/X11R6/lib with a symlink to ../lib.

Would it be true to the spirit of hurd and the /usr -> . symlink to have
/X11R6/lib be a symlink to ../lib? That way, most libraries would end
