  * put it in /usr/local/lib/linux, or even /usr/local/compat; anywhere
  * but /
 
 Actually, there is a reasoning behind this; /compat may be required
 during an early stage of boot, and thus may need to be in /.  If you
 don't need it, put it anywhere and symlink it to /compat.
 
 I agree it's not nice to fill up / though.  Maybe we can add a test of 
 root filesystem size and refuse to install if it's too small and
 /compat doesn't exist or does exist but is not a symlink to elsewhere?
