 * The installation of libfakegnumalloc is currently broken (it deletes all
 * versions of libgnumalloc.so from ${SHLIBDIR}).  I think it is supposed
 * to work by leaving old versions alone and putting a guaranteed-newer
 * version in the compat directory for future ld commands to find.

I don't think that was the intention.  The removal of all gnumalloc
shared libraries from /usr/lib was to prevent ported software
automatically detecting and using a shared libgnumalloc.  (The ld
commands are not supposed to find it, as it is empty anyway.)

 * 								    It
 * would be cleaner but too hard to mv old versions of libgnumalloc.so
 * to the compar directory.

It may be hard, but this is what we should do if we want to keep older 
versions.
