Yes, but we're talking about what is *supposed* to be the same source
tree.
As I understand it, anything linked against the libperl.so would
continue working so long as they aren't calling some now-non-existent
function. Am I understanding the shared object files correctly?
If so, wouldn't one of the RHerl patches have to remove a function for
this to cause breakage?
Yes some ifdefs would remove functions, but we were going to use the
SRPM, which should mean getting the same configure options, right?
