misfeature caused troubles when a program attempted to access a shlib
where one with a higher minor number has been hashed. Ldconfig does
only include the highest-numbered shlib anyway, so this is in no way a
limitation of generality.
Caution: after installing the new programs, your /var/run/ld.so.hints
needs to be rebuiult; run ldconfig again as it's done from /etc/rc.

ldconfig in /etc/rc caused the file system to be unclean after
every reboot.

easy to forget or misspell; nothing checks it and it should be
different for shared libraries.

I will ask Paul about that, if this is correct.

This version of ld sync's us up with NetBSD's ld and supports compatablily
with NetBSD's -[zZ] flags (which we had reversed). Compiling with this
new ld will give you RRS warnings for libraries which do not contain .type
infomation - these wsarnings are harmless and will go away as soon as you
recompile your libraries (cd /usr/src; make libraries).
lib.c:
Pull in archives containing definitions needed by shared objects.
warnings.c:
Less spurious "undefined symbol" msgs for shared library defined
symbols.
ld.c:
Do a better job of recognising data in text segments, eg. `const char []'.
shlib.c,ld/rtld/{Makefile rtld.c}
Use strsep() in stead of strtok() and restore colons in eg. env. vars.
