>Description:
When /etc/rc creates ld.so.hints, the default search path for
system libraries is /usr/lib/aout. However, FreeBSD
3.1-RELEASE puts a.out system libraries in
/usr/lib/compat/aout. Old a.out binaries can't be run until
/etc/rc is changed to reflect the correct location of a.out
libraries.
See also PR# i386/8670 for a related issue.
>How-To-Repeat:
Execute or try to build any a.out binary on a 3.1-RELEASE
system.
>Fix:
This patch to /etc/rc resolves the problem. (If /usr/lib/aout
is the correct place for a.out libraries, then /etc/rc should
not be changed, but the libraries in /usr/lib/compat/aout
should be moved.)
