One of the things I noticed while building my new ELF system was that I
had several "mismatched" libraries in /usr/lib.  I'd find a
libxxx.so.x.y from one date, and a (not-)corresponding libxxx_pic.a from
a much older date.  This caused several problems during the build.  So,
if you;ve got this kind of mismatch, clean it up!
