Could you elaborate? Do you have any idea what breaks?
fzidpc73:/# ldd /usr/lib/libibmeci50.so
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x4005e000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x400af000)
libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 => /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 (0x400b2000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x400f4000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40115000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)
Since I'm already using glibc 2.3.1, I think it must be a
libstdc++ breakage. Which can be avoided I think by
preserving libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 on your system.
P.S.: But you're of course right, evil breakage is to be expected
when using binary-only linux software.
