I'm using -current everything, from a "make build" a few days ago.  I'll 
double-check ld.so, though I'm sure it would've been installed as part of 
the make install.  This is a SPARCstation 20 Model 71 (75MHz 
SuperSPARC-II) if it makes any difference.  After looking at the core 
dumps, I don't think any useful information could be obtained from them 
since they occur in random places, and only occasionally.  Looks like any 
program has the potential to crash under sun4m.
