I guess it's a loader issue - i.e. that should be the reason we can't 
run our current OpenBeOS software in R5. And that's a problem, because 
if we change ld to produce OpenBeOS apps, they won't be able to run in 
R5 anymore (much like BONE or Dano executables, but for different 
reasons).

Adios...
