Ah yes.. I remember that from libpng now.. FWIW my musings are in
port-arm32/16064. Is there a list owner for acorn32? Apparently I'm still
not subscribed. Another bit was in
src/distrib/sets/lists/{base,comp}/md.acorn32 libarm32.so* are mentioned,
yet only libar32.so.0.0 seems to be installed (no symlinks as far as I can
see). (All this on a RiscPC)
