    The subject says almost all. I am trying to do a binary port of some
    SW which runs on SUNs, in particular a SUN3/60. I have successfully
    experimented with NeXT's `atom' binary conversion in the past.
    However, with this program I am stuck because the program wants
    /usr/lib/ld.so which does not exist (?) on the NeXT OS.

    Any ideas how to find a replacement, if any, that could be used via
    symbolic link as a fake /usr/lib/ld.so .

You are out of luck. Only statically linked programs can be atom-ed.
Ld.so is a table of the shared libraries under SunOS.
