I received some answers to my question and some requestes for a summary.
Here it the original question:
>when one starts up a program, which was compiled under a newer

>ld.so: warning: /usr/lib/libc.so.1.6 has older revision than expected 7
>This happens if you have some machines running SunOS 4.1.3 and some
>running 4.1.1. In our case the two servers which are used for
>compilation are running the newer version and every time a user starts
>a program on his workstation he gets these warnings. Sometimes this
>can get very annoying and we would like to get rid of these warnings.
>Is there a (simple) method to disable these warnings ?

Most people suggested using a dynamic link from /usr/lib/libc.so.8 to
/usr/lib/libc.so.6. This works so far fine for me. One person said, that
it is necessary to link libc.sa, too, because otherwise ld will crash.
This seems to be not true, at least I have not seen it so far.
Other suggestions included upgrading all the machines or compiling all
software on the machine with the oldest release. Both is for various reasons
impractical for our site, so we choose the dynamic link solution.
