Hi list,
I'm using  7.0-BETA2 on my laptop. While building different ports, i am encountering messages like the following (in particular the last line, the others are only warnings)

/usr/bin/ld: warning: libstdc++.so.5, needed
by /usr/local/lib/libicui18n.so.36, may conflict with
libstdc++.so.6 

/usr/bin/ld: warning: libm.so.4, needed
by /usr/local/lib/libicui18n.so.36, may conflict with libm.so.5

 /usr/bin/ld:
warning: libm.so.4, needed by /usr/local/lib/libicui18n.so.36, may conflict
with libm.so.5 

/usr/local/lib/compat/libpthread.so.2: undefined reference to
`__malloc_lock' gmake[1]: 

I don't ever remember getting this error before. I am pretty sure i'm using only binaries built on this machine for 7.0... have I missed anything? what's the cause of this error?

FWIW, I have compat6x installed

thanks!!
Beto
