Oh. I missed that. I suspect that readline is the least of his worries
in that case, though. All sorts of "fun" are liable to arise when you
run a program that was (e.g.) linked with libc5 and X libs on a system
where libc5 is still there, but the X libs are now linked against
libc6. Still, it *might* work...
