Er.. if I recall correctly, rex was a.out (libc4), bo was H.J.Lu's elf
(libc5) and hamm was glibc (libc6).  Also, we did retain the ability
to compile binaries for a previous version of the libraries.  Hamm did
include a libc5 development system, for example.

This probably deserves a little more thought..
