[snip patch changing SHLIBDIR to LIBDIR] I think this is a bad idea because all of the .a archives will end up in /lib. Seeing how those aren't necessary for running binaries in /bin and /sbin, I'd rather they stay in /usr/lib (which means LIBDIR shouldn't change if I'm reading the Makefile glue correctly). -gordon
