Oh, OK. >>The majors >>for OpenBSD builds of XFree86 are already different than for most other >>platforms, and I think that was done for the a.out->elf transition. > >I don't think they have changed any shared library version when >i386 went ELF.

In OpenBSDLib.tmpl the versions are bumped for releases >= 3.1.
