A but old I know but I think we should remake the "glib and friends"
unit to lazy linkers. Anyone using them uses libc anyhow (which = ld in
fBSD) so once they use lazy linking, a simple "try the old name, then
the new name" in initialization section would fix this and other future
freeBSD-porters fuckups.

I tried converting them, I even talked Loesje into giving me his tool
but I didn't find the time for it yet. If anyone has anything which can
simply do this, or has the time to do it manualy it'd be great.

P.S: I'm ofcourse willing to test it once it's done/ and or help with
the init part.
