Wonderful! ;) Since these are the first libs installed, would it be efficient to try to line them up to be immediately below the apple libs, so that *most* other libs that try to prebind wouldn't conflict? I don't install much *nix stuff outside of fink, and what I do is usually dependent on fink. I'd just think that that would be as unobtrusive as possible. $.02.

Folks with fileutils and various other fink packages installed are
harassed by thousands of prebinding warnings:
Feb 11 07:44:07 G4 /usr/libexec/fix_prebinding: /sw/bin/cut could not
be launched prebound.
Feb 11 07:44:07 G4 /usr/libexec/fix_prebinding: /sw/bin/cut couldn't be
prebound in the past, and probably can't be prebound now.
Feb 11 07:44:07 G4 /usr/libexec/fix_prebinding: 2003-02-11 07:44:07
-0800: prebinding for cut done.
Feb 11 07:44:16 G4 /usr/libexec/fix_prebinding: /sw/bin/find could not
be launched prebound.
Feb 11 07:44:16 G4 /usr/libexec/fix_prebinding: /sw/bin/find couldn't
be prebound in the past, and probably can't be prebound now.
dyld: ls: prebinding disabled because library: /sw/lib/libintl.1.dylib
got slid

Until we come up with a full prebinding database, I suggest we patch
the gettext and libiconv packages to prebind libintl and libiconv
dylibs, specifying random seg1addrs. It might not always work, but it
will be better than the present "will NEVER work" situation. If another
library conflicts, itll just fail to prebind. No big deal.

Obviously this will only help for things that use only gettext and
libiconv libraries, but there are quite a lot of apps in fink that only
use those. :) (Along with everything in fileutils, others include stuff
like, dpkg-split, dpkg-deb, gtar...)

Objections... ?
