Huh. I just built xpdf on 1.5.1/i386, and it runs fine for me. Opera
is a linux binary, but it seems to work fine, too (and without any
LD_anything).

Could you have a.out format libs in /usr/X11R6/lib? If you still have
any a.out libs, you ought to move those to
/emul/aout/usr/{lib,X11R6/lib,pkg/lib}, as appropriate.
