So, it looks like

/emul/linux/usr/X11R6/lib only contains:
	libICE.so.6.0   libPEX5.so.6.0

This makes netscape-4.0 among other linux programs try to use things like
libXt.so.6 from /usr/X11R6/lib, which is the NetBSD version, which
of course is NOT elf, which makes netscape puke.

  This used to work. I'm not sure if somebody messed up 
/emul/linux/etc/ld.so.cache/conf,
somebody ran ldconfig incorrectly, or somebody just deleted a bunch of
files without announcing this (or else this could be on my end, but
it's happened on several machines).
  I noticed those libs are in /emul/linux/lib/
but that's only searched AFTER /usr/X11/lib, so NetBSD wins, which sucks
