The plan which (unless I totally misunderstood) the ELF team has agreed upon is that the ELF libraries will end up in /usr/lib once the dust has settled. Okay... However don't we want to be checking for a library based on the format we are compiling for? Is ELF going to become the only supported binformat? If so I guess I can have it check /usr/lib then /usr/lib/aout. If we're supporting both ELF and aout, then I should have it select the correct one based on the system default binformat. Please let me know if we're going to only support ELF, and if not, where is the correct place to read the binformat from.
