and in the worst case you'll end up where GNU is now, with symbol
versioning, 21 different versions of opendir in glibc, and so on an so on.
Watching a simple 'ls' do hundreds of symbol fixups is really
enlightening. Especially when so many of them are for the same symbol with
slight variations on the name. My simple, formerly working, libc-based
private name spaces are still totally hosed due to this nonsense.
