I just put the X.org 7.1 Linux binary (fglrx_drv.so) into
/usr/X11R6/lib/xorg/modules/drivers and changed my xorg.conf file to
point to it, but starting X fails with a message that libpthread.so.0
(the Linux version, I assume) cannot be found.  Mapping it to the native
libpthread.so.2 or explicitly to the Linux libpthread-2.3.6.so using
/etc/libmap.conf doesn't help, neither does brandelf(8)ing the binary to
Linux help.

Any ideas?
