They do not always get things right...


Actually going from libc.so.500 to libc.so.{x<500} is easy.
Copy libc.so.500 into /usr/lib/compat.  When the libc.so link is made to
libc.so.{x<500}, that is the lib version number that will get burned into
objects.  After the first `make world', rm /usr/lib/libc.so.500.
