It doesn't appear that the -m option is valid for ldconfig under NetBSD 
1.3/pmax.  The usage listing is:

usage:	ldconfig [-DvnNX] dir ...
	ldconfig -l [-Dv] lib ...
	ldconfig -p

At least one person has said that they didn't think shared libraries were 
working under NetBSD 1.3/pmax.  This seems to be contrary to what I have 
found in the archives about shared library support.  Anyone out there have 
the definitive answer on this?
