30 Or we could just stop randomly moving libs across the system and
31 breaking things then hackmeating things back to a "working" state with
32 gen_ld_script.

34 The whole reason for having gen_ld_script is because people wanted
35 dynamic libs in / and static libs in /usr (which seems insane) and it
36 broke everything (because that idea is insane). Maybe we could just
37 install all the libs together (either / or /usr) and stop pretending
38 that what we are doing isn't wrong?
