warning - bug in solaris x86 ldd breaks install of gtk+-2.4.10

[Tim Flechtner <timf@xxxxxxxxxx>]

i'm writing this to warn the other three users of solaris x86 in the 
world. :)  for solaris 8 and 9, on x86 (maybe other versions as well), 
the sun ldd chokes on some library names, including, for example, 
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.400.10.  this manifests in at least two ways:

1. when you run ldd against the library, the first line printed out has 
garbage (or sometimes it just crashes) for the library name.  eg

usira:/home/troll/timf/src/gnome/2.4/build/gtk+-2.4.10/gtk/.libs $ ldd 
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.400.10
        ù =>     (file not found)

        libdl.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
        libglib-2.0.so.0 =>      /opt/app/gnome-2.4//lib/libglib-2.0.so.0
        libiconv.so.2 =>         /opt/app/lib/libiconv.so.2
        libm.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libm.so.1
        libc.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libc.so.1
        libgcc_s.so.1 =>         /opt/lang/gcc-3.3.2/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
        libXext.so.0 =>  /usr/openwin/lib/libXext.so.0
        libXft.so.2 =>   /opt/app/gnome-2.4//lib/libXft.so.2
        libfreetype.so.6 =>      /opt/app/lib/libfreetype.so.6
        libz.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libz.so.1

        libdga.so.1 =>   /usr/openwin/lib/libdga.so.1
        libexpat.so.0 =>         /opt/app/expat-1.95.7/lib/libexpat.so.0


2. when you run applications which link against the shared object in 
question, they crash.


NOTE!!! This is not a complaint about gtk, just an attempt to warn 
others who might be bitten by this.
