This is even more a trick from the
hope-you-know-what-you-are-doing-department.

And it opens pandoras box of _very_ strange error which come from changed abi
and changed api between the versions. And if you don't tell the devs on irc
or the mailing-lists that you did this _very_ dirty trick, they will try
to "fix" it for ages. If you tell them what you did, they tell you to either
undo it and check again or not complain about the errors...

So don't do this unless you know what it is about or know how to deal with the
results.
