The problem would go away if the vendor would publish a .c file
instead of a .o module. Go complain with your vendor, or at
least somewhere else than on this list.
And don't act like we stole your lollypop. This isn't the end of
the world and you have no reason to spam people who have nothing
to do with this, can't do anything about it, and surely care even
less than "not at all" about your problem when you go out like
this trashing projects you clearly haven't contributed a single
line of code to.
