The issue of binary interoperability comes up. I don't really want to have or need the 1.x compatibility library on the new system. What I am observing is that static binaries from 1.1 execute on 2.0.5, but static binaries from 2.0.5 cause a "bad system call" trap and core dump. Is the solution to this to force a link against the 1.x compatibility libraries, or is there some other trick or switch so that locally-compiled 2.0.5 binaries will run on 1.1?
