another braindamaged thing from Sun

PLEASE, can ldconfig(1) be distributed in the future as a statically
linked executable ??  Apparently the ld.so.cache can get hosed somehow
(ours is on our Sun-4, 4.0.1) and if the link-cache is hosed, all you get
is a memory fault when you run a dynamically linked executable.  So,
running ldconfig to fix itself just gives a memory fault. I guess someone
had some brains someplace since truncating the file seemed to mysteriously
fix things enough that we could get ldconfig to run. Thank goodness I was
running the Korn Shell and had echo built into my shell, since I couldn't
run rm, ls, or any of those other useful programs.
