But, a person running FreeBSD 5.x, : who wants to runs this vendor's 4.x software, will need to : build their libc with WANT_COMPAT4_STDIO defined if this : product needs to see __sF. All that kludge does is to allow a program that shouldn't be allowed to link to link. You need to setup to compile 4.x binaries on the 5.x machine, or you will lose in the long run. __sF is only the first of many issues, some subtle, that you'll face cross-threading 4.x and 5.x libraries.
