It is also so.1 so it won't clash.= I think that should be Okay as long as you have something that depends on the library imminent. Note that the upstream explicitly defined this library as private (all symbols are under SUNWprivate namespace), therefore, there is no commitment provided for this library and it's subject to change at any time, as described in csi(5) on Solaris. (It's true that the library have not received any significant changes lately, though). This is why I am concerned with this addition.
