| Actually the ABI seems to have gotten much more stable. The last ABI
| issues I remember were around 2.4.10 or something like that, which is
| many years ago. Most of those ABI issues even have workarounds.
You take me too literally. The ABI practically includes glibc, xlib,
and who knows what else.
| It even includes both 32 and 64bit versions for x86 it would seem.
| It has its own copies of some shared libraries it uses that it puts in
| /opt along with the game.
That's probably the best hope.
