Yeah, that's pre-ELF. It's also before my day. My first Linux install still had 
a.out support and libc.so.4, but that was only for compatibility.

ELF is a big beast, however. To speed up, I recommend prelinking libraries, 
executables, using techniques like ELF symbol visibility, protected 
visibility, -Bsymbolic, etc.
