Couldn't future version of linux binarys be compiled to first search for
/lib/libc.so.4 and if that fails try /lib/libc.so.4.3, etc, etc. This
shouldn't be a massive problem to setup and only if all of /lib was remove
would the user be in trouble ! (in which case the binaries could search in
/oops_i'v_lost_my_shared_libs/backup_here/libc.so.4)
Cheers
