After updating my Sun to 9.2.3, mozilla fails to run, with the
following error:

athena% ld.so.1: /usr/athena/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/athena/lib/mozilla/components/libMyService.so: symbol _Z20NS_NewGenericModule2P12nsModuleInfoPP9nsIModule: referenced symbol not found

It looks like we need to nuke some old files remaining from a previous
mozilla build in /srvd -- these are part of the test software which
has now been removed from the build; the old libraries remaining in
components were built with gcc, and so cannot be loaded by the new
natively-built binary.

After removing these locally (find /usr/athena/lib/mozilla/components
-mtime +1 ...), mozilla started up successfully.
