Another odd fact of Solaris (at least around that time of 2.5.1/2.6) is that they do keep libc and libdl (mentioned last in his post) under /etc/lib since all programs on solaris will link to those, even if you say -static, so for boot-error-fix program, you alter the ld.so runpath when compiling so it will pick up libc and libdl from /etc instead. Nasty stuff, that.
