	Affirmative.  ELF Symbol Versioning means no function
	of netchild@ as said.

	spamming? junk symbols?  Humm...  I don't think so, but it
	is POLICY that I think.  Althought I'm working, I want to
	merge 'Userland COMPAT_LINUX technology' to FreeBSD source
	tree.  I hope that you do consent.  So I hope to discuss
	@GLIBC_2.* symbols:-).

	I think so, too.

	Yes. I did try to do things, but I didn't get any good way.
	And, 'LICENSE PROBLEM'.  We cannot change libflashplugin.so.
	Now therefore, the way of objdump is none.


	FYI: I heard one Flash sound on firefox and flash7 and Userland
	COMPAT_LINUX and 7-current, but didn't display images:-(.
	I implemented following 29 functions.
