about half the time, Firefox/Mozilla/etc. segfault on startup using
these libraries for me on -current (though admittedly I haven't tried
it for a while, so maybe the compat_linux bugs have been fixed). I
observed the same with the Debian pkgs I imported into wip.

I would prefer that we get the Debian pkgs into pkgsrc and default to
those, as SuSE have de-supported everything but i386, which is
inappropriate for pkgsrc.

If you really want to add a knob to use the suse91 pkgs, do that
for now instead of making it the default (better the devil we know..)

grant.
