(NB: this was another accident, it wasn't intention.)

In the compat20 distribution.  Make sure to _not_ drop it straight
into /usr/lib, or your newly linked programs might also link against
it.  Instead, put it into /usr/lib/compat/, and add this directory to
the list of ldconfig directories in /etc/rc.  (That's the way how the
compat packages are being installed by default now.)
