I just spent the better part of a day re-installing 122 ports because these ports were linked against an earlier libc. All of this is 3rd party software. But, if you have a pre-20021031 world and you build only a post-20021021 libc, then a whole bunch of libraries in /usr/lib will becomed unusable. -- Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
