>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.)
