Apparently, sunos 5 asks the system for a "platform" identifier, then looks
for any platform-specific libraries that might be required.

Our SVR4 emulator returns the `cpumodel' string, which obviously leads to
a rather bogus pathname. We probably need to construct another machine-dependent
`platform' string for svr4/sunos5 emulation purposes.
