You are right. Sorry, I was clumsy and posted this before I actually
tested the new binary (objdump -p output is at the bottom).

However, we now have FreeBSD-7 xetex binary that works on FreeBSD-8 as
well... So, this means that, with some more tuning, we might have only
one binary set for 7 and 8, which would be perfect because, in that
case, TL2010 would contain binaries that work out of the box for ~80%
of FreeBSD users running supported releases. According to downloading
statistics from my site:

  FreeBSD-6  19.34%
  FreeBSD-7  20.99%
  FreeBSD-8  59.67%

  i386   56.35%
  amd64  43.65%

Namely, there are only three FreeBSD-7 binaries that are currently
explicitly linked against base system libs that changed version numbers
in FreeBSD-8. These binaries and respective libraries are:

tcdialog:
        libncurses.so.7 => /lib/libncurses.so.7 (0x800652000)

xindy.run:
        libcrypt.so.4 => /lib/libcrypt.so.4 (0x800949000)
        libncurses.so.7 => /lib/libncurses.so.7 (0x800d65000)

asy:
        libreadline.so.7 => /lib/libreadline.so.7 (0x800c76000)
        libncurses.so.7 => /lib/libncurses.so.7 (0x8010e4000)
        libz.so.4 => /lib/libz.so.4 (0x800fd0000)

Would it be possible to eliminate these dependencies as well?
