Athena has not gotten rid of any versions of SunOS libc from /usr/4lib
in recent history. However, I have observed bugs in Solaris's SunOS
emulation which cause binaries to, under circumstances not currently
understood, not be able to find libraries under /usr/4lib. I've run
truss on the executables and watched the kernel do patently invalid
things.
Anyway, I don't have a really good workaround for you, so pretty much
all I can do is encourage you to get the source for this
cross-compiler and build a Solaris executable. Solaris's SunOS
emulation has never been all that great.
