What is a loader? I downloaded a few core packages from OpenSolaris (I 
no longer have a Solaris installation and no one I know has a shell on a 
Solaris machine) and extracted what I thought were the needed 
libraries... but now I'm getting this:
ldd install.sfx.21784
        libc.so.1 =>     /lib/libc.so.1  - bad ELF flags value: [ 
EF_SPARC_32PLUS ]

So it seems to be picking up my solaris.ko now, and my 
/usr/gnemul/solaris/ tree with libraries, but still no go.

Oh, and prefixing that with sparc32 or sparc64 doesn't seem to make a 
difference.

Am I close, or should I give up and run Tomcat on a spare i386 box?
