Sorry, but contrary to your assertion, it is trivial.
My and/or Kevin's patch did all that is required - throw the switch and
include solib.[ch]. Nothing technically challenging here, and certainly
nothing unreasonable for a contributor. Especially when there's a core
developer helping with the change.
It could by now have even been committed, if only we'd not been dragged
down this rat-hole where people start insisting that it has to be tested
on old crufty systems that likely don't even build. If you want drive
away native GNU and GNU/Linux developers from what is ment to be a GNU
project, tell them to fix vax-ultrix.
Andrew
