Please check the ERRATA info carefully. Nothing about compat22 is reported on it.
Actually I think this information can be found in 3.1-R && 3.2-R's ERRTA. Your PR just implied "Some 3.x users could have trouble of missing ld.so" but it is not true. The truth is 3.1-R lacked with (aout) ld.so , you need to install compat22 distribution; and 3.2-R missed its installation directory from /usr/lib/compat(right place) to /usr/lib/compat/aout(wrong place). Those file in /usr/lib/compat now should be ELF format.
I don't think it is necessary to include these information to FAQ. You can check it out from the errata file of every release version. And I encourage people to do so.
I've carefully read the erratas again and found that they aren't saying about a problem of my PR. The 3.1 errata says about registration of aout libs after installing compat22. The 3.2 errata says nothing about compat22. My PR is about `How to let users know that they should install compat22 before installing aout applications like netscape.' I've seen a lot of such questions on ML and direct mail to me from new 3.2 users. This seems to be a pure FAQ and now I recommend importing the entry into FAQ.
Any objection ?
