I think you'll find it is.  But in any case, it's only necessary if you told
it to use dynamic loading - if you can live without it, tell it not to do
dybamic loading and it'll work...

...alternatively, grab "dld" off ftp.dstc.edu.au (look in "dev" or whatever
the development stuff lives.

It isn't really a problem with linux - you install dld, it works.

For ELF, it just works.

(Admittedly, most of the problems people have building stuff on Solaris comes
when they try to use the BSD compatibility crud, which you rarely need
anyway...but that's off-topic for a.c.linux)

Enjoy,
 Andrew.
