Shared libraries

[laura at utcsstat.UUCP]

A lot of people around here will hang onto their binaries until the day
they die, retire, or graduate, and they will not be interested in
'rebuilding' anything. The problem is more serious, though. What do
you do the day you decide to change malloc or printf and you make a
mistake? What do you do when your whole kernel is broken and can't come
up? Get a new disk pack and regen a new system? What? You don't *have*
a spare disk pack? I'd say you were rather thoroughly stuck, then...
