That doesn't count as an ABI change - pretty sure statically linking to libc means you could break at any time, even due to an errata. Ditto for using symbols that start with "__" If the libc ABI were considered officially changed it would have gone to libc.so.7 and there would be libc.so.6 in a compat package. That's my understanding anyway. Havoc
