Are you talking about the same post for alpha-tester that was posted to -current, or something more recent, of which I am unaware? Also, where do those shared libraries come from, if the binaries are referencing Solaris specific 64 bit off_t symbols (per the Motif linkage issues)? Installing Linux shared libraries are one thing; install Solaris shared libraries are another; everyone implcitly has a Linux license, whereas obtaining the Solaris libraries involves obtaining a License for Solaris, and, if it's the "send us $15 for the free version" CDROM, *violating* that license.
