There is also a problem with rpcgen calling /usr/libexec/cpp while
LD_LIBRARY_PATH points to a directory with elf libraries in it. The
naming conventions are close enough that the a.out ld.so will mistakenly
"see" the elf libraries and attempt to load them (and fail).
THere are probably more of these.
I think I can work around the problem in rpcgen's case with the -Y flag.
Cheers,
