10 That would be because ld.so is a *compatibility* package for really old (i.e.
11 libc5) software. The ld.so that we grabbed from gentoo-x86 is an x86 binary
12 distro of these libs basically. (they really are a big pain in the ass to
13 rebuild). If someone has a really old netscape (or something) binary they want
14 to run, feel free to make PPC versions of these packages.. otherwise, these
15 should be masked back out like they originally were. Is there even software
16 this old for PPCLinux?
