It seems to have been required with libc4, libc5, or glibc2.0.  But
that might also have changed since we generate inode-numbers
differently now.  On the systems that I've access to it's not needed
on any of these, but there might be some other distribution which
shipped a sufficiently old (g)libc with a 2.[12] kernel?

But once we have verified that it's not actually needed any more I
won't have any problems with deleting it.
