Well, Almost .. Re: [ale] Linking Libraries together

[John Mills]

ALErs -

With a few msec. more thought after my post, I realized I had set a target
here that is not realistic for any reasonably secure, functional OS (for
anything much beyond a device driver).

I am actually trying to do something sensible and (I hope) attainable: I
want to build a Linux executable that can run in a host with either
'libc-2.4' or 'libc-2.6' installed, but not necessarily both.

OK - Thanks.
