I'm open to other suggestions about why a.out works but ELF doesn't, but I'm *pretty* sure that that was the *only* namespace semantics change, so, yeah, I'm pretty confident that a problem with symbol name resolution is localizable to changes in symbol name resolution.

I'm sure that in order to use Sun ELF libraries, you have to have ELF object to link against them, in the same way that round holes require round pegs (unless you are willing to get, uh, "inelegant"...).
