"a" is not theoretical - we know there are:

  elfdump -y /usr/openwin/bin/xlock | grep libcmd
       [23]  DBL      [9] libcmd.so.1        defcntl
       [55]  DBL      [9] libcmd.so.1        defread
       [76]  DBL      [9] libcmd.so.1        defopen

The -lcmd will be dropped from the X makefiles sometime after this case
integrates.   (No sooner than 2 Nevada builds later, since X build n
is build on WOS build n-2, and probably a little later than that to
allow X developers to keep building & testing X even if they haven't
upgraded to the absolute latest WOS build yet.)
