We need to commit something like this, because ymessenger is indeed
broken on 5.x systems (libglib built on 5.x uses the getpwuid_r symbol
which is not present in the libc.so.4 compat library used by
ymessenger).  The problem is that it is a dynamic binary and links
against third-party libraries that are not present in the compat4x
package, and there is no guarantee that this will ever work on non-4.x
systems.  Another alternative would be to get the ymessenger people to
link it statically against libglib and any other non-FreeBSD
libraries.
