Description jtjang 1999-09-07 21:30:01 UTC

/usr/src/lib/compat/compat22/libxpg4.so.2.0.gz.uu
does not have BIG5 rune supported. aout applications
like Netscape needs this to function properly.

Fix: 

A working aout libxpg4 can be fetched from
ftp://freebsd.sinica.edu.tw/pub/keith/libxpg4.so.2.0.
To compile it yourself, follow these steps
(clean /usr/obj first):

cd /usr/src/lib/csu/i386
env OBJFORMAT=aout make
cp *.o /usr/src/lib/libxpg4
cd /usr/src/lib/libxpg4
env OBJFORMAT=aout make

Since zh_TW.Big5 locale was introduced in 3.0R,
I suggest that the broken one in compat22 be
nuked, and put a working libxpg4 in compat3x.
How-To-Repeat: Just uudecode & gunzip libxpg4.so.2.0.gz.uu, and
"nm -aout libxpg4.so.2.0 |grep -i big5" will show
that no BIG5-related symbols there, while elf
libxpg4 contains those symbols.

I guess I'm the guilty on the compat22 scene.
