In the linux base (FC4) there are libs which are tailored to the 2.4  
kernel, and there are libs which are tailored to the 2.6 kernel. The  
2.6 one seems to be loaded first, and if it doesn't fit the currently  
running kernel, it is rejected and the linker searches for a more  
suitable one. The legacy libs seem to be searched after the location  
where it finds the FreeBSD one.

Bye,
Alexander.
