Although 3.2 is just about to be released in a few days (essentially just the cleaned-up snapshot of the 3.1-stable branch). There have been a lot of changes merged from -current lately, so it may be worth your while to upgrade again once it comes out. > SUBJ: > > Q.1. during upgrade libc.so.3.1 was not installed.

This should be unnecessary - /usr/lib/aout should be in the ldconfig path for aout libraries, so dynamically-linked a.out binaries should look here by default. If this isn't the case, check to make sure you have upgraded everything in /etc (not just 'make world', which doesn't touch /etc). The mergemaster port is very good for helping merge changes. This is an essential part of an upgrade, especially if you're jumping over a period of a month or more in your OS versions.
