Description huver 2005-05-06 15:40:01 UTC 
      /usr/include/sys/utsname.h:

Declaring "uname()" to be a static inline calling __xuname()" is causing problems.  Many *.so libs in ported packages now all directly calls for
__xuname(), so legacy 3.x/4.x binaries using these *.so libs don't work
anymore -- these binaries do not refer to libc.so.5.

Fix: 

Remove the section defining uname() to be calling __xuname().
Rebuild packages.  Or, remove compat3 and compat4 so to make it clear
that those binaries will very likely fail to start.

     Another fix, is for the compat3/4 libc.so.3/4 to include __xuname()

Please provide more details.  What combination of libraries causes the
problem?
