Grumpf. Linking is a fine thing for space economy, but for chroot
I wish everything was static and monolithic and self-contained.

That's a very good idea indeed; I was focusing too much on icecast
itself.

There should be a chroot package, just like the one Redhat makes for
bind. If I manage to solve this, I might take a shot at packaging the
solution.

BTW, the OS is Linux, RHEL3-flavour. I'd assume every *nix has the
same problem though.

Indeed. I'll try the simple things to begin with. If they don't work,
strace might tell me what's missing in the chroot. It amazes me though
that nobody has run into this before.
