Holly Canoli -- is that really possible ?? I think the the ld will laod the
first symbol it finds from the libs from the ld path.
Perhaps I am 100% wrong -- I hope I am.

To put the question straight without any useless `because's' and

I'm writing `newlibrary' which I hope to link against glib-2.2.3.
newlibrary will provide an api to `monolithic_gui' which already
links against glib/gtk+-1.3.5 devel snapshot.

| monolithic_gui |

or wierd behaviour ?
Anyone know how safe this is ?
(maybe some runtime linkers can screw me up here ?)
Maybe (probably) it will "choke" whenever `monolithic_gui' uses
`1.3.5' apis to operate on objects provided by `newlibrary' ?
(like g_object_ref(G_OBJECT(newlibraryobject)) ? )
(I think I read a doc that Havoc wrote about parallel installs,
don't remember if it covered this...)
Thankyou all in advance,
-Tristan
PS:
upgrading monolithic_gui to gtk+-2.x is out of the question
(maybe due for a rewrite over this summer, but you know, baby steps
need to work for this or, it'll never get done).
Oh, and as its 5:00 friday...
so I might not be mailing 'till monday ;-)
