It's right.  For those who are interested in a source code patch, i've
also provided a quick'ndirty cvs diff between the 2.2.0 and 2.2.1
tags.  See under ftp://freefall.freebsd.org/pub/joerg/.

However, literally spoken, since there are two changes in two
libraries, you will have to rebuild/install all the static binaries.
That makes a binary upgrade kit fairly pointless, you can as well
install the entire bindist then.
