It will not affect the modules that you already have. When you build new 
modules, you may need to modify the file to fall back to building flat 
namespace binary extensions.

This is not really a bug. Some (very useful) modules will not compile as 
two-level namespace binaries, at least not without some considerable effort.

It looks like you're porting an app... Be aware that there is an issue 
with dynload_next (see Bob Ippolito's messages). I've gotten into some 
trouble with identically named binaries (lots of renaming), I've 
switched to libdl now (thanks Bob!).
