That could break system programs.

There are a couple of things wrong here:

  * The version 1 glib and gtk libraries in /usr/athena/lib do not have
an rpath set.  This is probably due to them using an old libtool which
does not respect -Wl,-R options, and is a regression from 9.3 where they
got an rpath from the LD_RUN_PATH variable (which we no longer set, and
which wouldn't work even if we did set it because /usr/sfw/bin/gcc
overrides it).

  * vim's build system apparently doesn't use the gtk-config or
glib-config scripts to get the set of libraries to link against, or it
would be itself linked against -lintl and this wouldn't be a problem.

I will see about fixing the first problem; the sipb locker maintainers
might want to think about fixing the second problem as a workaround.
