Can you please give (an) example(s) when it is necessary to install files with stale /usr/compat/linux/etc/ld.so.cache? I'm not sure if it make more good than harm... So far we rely on linuxulator being run and check for compat.linux.osrelease value while installing. If that check is removed then we have only FreeBSD OSVERSION which is very unreliable at compat.linux.osrelease quessing.
