The linker burns the shlib name into the executable it links, right?
Then why don't my executables linked end of december with libc.so.3
work anymore?
Essentially everything linked shared is now broken. And I have only
built/installed libc.so.4 (I did not get any further :/) and not any
executables.
So, why are the 'old' executablas no longer working happily with libc.so.3
they are linked to?
