Yup. I'd toss them onto the distribution CD so that the adventurous
could attempt to relink. Dunno what SO would do, though -- given
the total lack of interest in relinking on the various commercial
Linux projects I've done, I'd suspect that dropping the objects onto
a ftp site is probably sufficient.

\/ that will work, or the dynamically linked version
that will only work with libc 5.8.49.hike!.hike!
