Are you going to handle that with your shlibs.local file? And libc12 (aka NetBSD), coming to a mirror near you as soon as ftpmasters create the architecture section. Possibly libc4, as well, if anyone does work on the native FreeBSD libc (rather than their current usage of a port of GNU libc). You *really* don't want to assume something works on libc12 just because it works on libc6. It probably will, mind you, but it's definitely an even worse assumption than "all GNU libc versions work". -- Joel Baker <fenton@debian.org>
