Yes it does. And until FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE there is time to fix
this software (at least in ports).
The MFC to stable/9 of r226105 was back out.
Well, I am just curious how critical it is to get it resolved and is
there any way to avoid ABI breakage. Software compiled for 9.x won't run
on 10.x even when fitted with the proper compat libs, as far as I can
tell and not all software can be easily recompiled.
P.S. It should be trivial to put some COMPAT_8/COMPAT_9 shims based on
the version of the ELF image (i.e. detect if the binary is < than
FreeBSD 10.
