No. you should instead hunt down the library that is still linked to libm.so.2, and rebuild it. > > Or am I actually, for some reason, really better served by tracking down > the old software and relink it?

Not that much work, you can wrap a find command around it: find /usr/local/lib -name "*.so" | xargs ldd > /tmp/local.out Repeat for /usr/X11R6/lib, and hunt down the library that way. Alternatively, you can watch the failing build. ld-elf.so.1 should tell you which library wants libm.so.2.
