Will people need to update the a.out shared library and thus gcc
to upgrade to ELF. I remember H Lu's announcement saying that
if you wanted to run 5.x you needed 4.7.x as the a.out libraries
which in turn needed the new gcc. Is this true or not?
I'm pretty sure this is true only if you want to develop under 5.x. If
you just want to run ELF programs linked against 5.x, you should just
need to upgrade to the latest ld.so, and put the libc5.x files somewhere
ldconfig will find them. I haven't tried this yet, but it should
work.....
