Gee... I forget where they are.  I couldn't find them either.

Well, here goes...

First you copy Sun's /usr/lib/ld.so to that same path on the
NetBSD/sun3 system.  Then make the directory /sun and copy
the relevant parts of the SunOS /usr filesystem there.
(I just NFS mount the SunOS /usr on /sun)

Finally, use emacs on /usr/lib/ld.so (in overwrite mode) and
replace "/usr" with "/sun" at all ocurrances.   That's it.

Yes, you need the SunOS shared libs from /usr/lib in /sun/lib

Gee.  That was an optimistic experiment!  8^)
