Yup. Noticed that in the patches.

How about the old a.out binaries? I still haven't recompiled some
things:

kayvan@satyr[~]:503$ ldd /usr/local/bin/procmail
libm.so.4 (DLL Jump 4.6pl27) => /lib/libm.so.4.6.27
libc.so.4 (DLL Jump 4.6pl27) => /lib/libc.so.4.7.5

Is there a version of the a.out shared libs that fixes this as well?

I'm running the ELF libc-5.2.18. That should be okay, right?
