Yup. I'd toss them onto the distribution CD so that the adventurous could attempt to relink. Dunno what SO would do, though -- given the total lack of interest in relinking on the various commercial Linux projects I've done, I'd suspect that dropping the objects onto a ftp site is probably sufficient.
