Tonight, I built new kernel and user-land by using
yesterday's current (got through cvs).  Then, I've gotten
this error whenever I execute old binaries.

  jam@sou(p4)$ /usr/local/bin/less
  /usr/libexec/ld.so: less: libcurses.so.2.2: Inappropriate file type or format


Here are other information.  Maybe I need all of my old
libraries under /emul/aout.  Am I correct?  Could somebody
change ld.so to search under both /emul/aout and /?

  jam@sou(p4)$ uname -a
  NetBSD sou.nerv.org 1.5D NetBSD 1.5D (sou) #4: Tue Aug  8 16:39:11 CDT 2000
