Well we seem to be the only folks who aren't running ldconfig. None of our
X11 shared libraries live in /usr/lib, because we have a hacker's version
and a staid, boring version for people who want no surprises. 
Anyway, I have found that setting the ExtraLibraries define in site.def
results in -L switches to ld. Evidently this adds that directory to the 
search path for dynamic libraries, with the result that LD_LIBRARY_PATH
is not necessary, and neither is ld_config- at least, not for me.
Your mileage may vary depending on what sub-version of sunos you have.
Xterm and Xload are statically bound, as they need suid and sgid resp., 
but that is the only negative consequence. 
I have no libraries in /usr/lib, and i have no ldconfig's that need
doing, and i have no LD_ blah lbah in my environment.
   At this point, at SRC, we have no need to have *any* X applications 
in /usr/bin/X11, or have a soft link in /usr/bin, or any of that stuff.
Our /usr is pristine. We are planning to post info about what changes
we had to make to the mit tree to make this all work. It sure is nice not
having libx* cluttering up /usr/lib, though...
