I wanted to avoid clashing with FreeBSD's BSD libc, which is currently
called libc.so.4 and (as I understand it) might be called libc.so.5 in
FreeBSD 5.0.
If the soname really is irrelevant, I'll use libc.so.1. That will
avoid clashing with FreeBSD 5.0 libc as well :-)

The oldest_abi setting that I have in
sysdeps/unix/bsd/bsd4.4/freebsd/configure.in appears to have the same
effect:
======================================================================
# Don't bother with backward compatibility with glibc versions < 2.2.6.
if test "$oldest_abi" = default; then
oldest_abi=2.2.6
fi
======================================================================
Is anything wrong with that?
