* 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.
