glibc 2.1 soname on PPC


Hi,

We have a PPC running RedHat 5.0 based on glibc 1.99. It uses libc.so.6,
ld.so.1, ... as sonames. I am horrified to find out glibc 2.1 doesn't
change soname on PPC, but it has a different ABI from glibc 1.99. As
the result, I cannot install glibc 2.1 over a glibc 1.99 system on
PPC. May I ask why we have done this?

On alpha, we have the same problem. We solve it by change sonames
to 6.1 from 6 and etc. Can we do the same for PPC? I can provide
a patch if necessary.

Thanks.
