Keep a copy of the libraries on the Solaris installation if you'd like to be
able to use emul-svr4 to run Solaris binaries. That'd be /usr/lib,
/usr/openwin/lib, /usr/dt/lib, and the ldd command. You'll need some subset
of those to run Solaris binaries under NetBSD.

I'm happy to assist you as time permits if you run into problems; just drop
me a note.
