I don't know what happened, but try logging into a NetBSD1.2
machine, and running a linux binary compiled with any X11
library. It should error with something like:
./xzul: '/lib/libX11.so.6' is not an ELF file
./xzul: can't load library 'libX11.so.6'
It looks like something somewhere broke (it started a few days ago,
but seems to happen to multiple users on multiple machines consistently)
It seems it loads the files from /emul/linux/lib/*, which are
a.out files, and not lib/elf/*.. worse it only seems to
have started recently, and no changes that I am aware of have
happened.. the dates on all the files look old. However, i
do think that the ld.so.cache has somehow gotten confused about
where to find the libraries.
This needs to be fixed ASAP, since there are quite a few
linux ELF binaries we rely on (and some more that would be nice
to have available.. note netscape-4.0)
Did ANYBODY touch anything recently that could have caused this?
