I fail to see any mention of the case dependence on resolving
the Sun named libcmd library.

I don't recall anything about appending the Sun private def*
stuff here. In fact I thought the agreement was no code
merging in libcmd. I thought the def* stuff would be moved
elsewhere and there would no longer be /lib/libcmd* except
for perhaps a symlink from the dependent case to /usr/lib/...
and the stuff in /usr/lib/libcmd* would have redirection
map files interposers (or other technology) to resolve binary
compatibility.

As above.

I'm not sure how this new paragraph with implies merging,
but with the def* removed fits with what I understood
was agreed to.
