The problem is that your 11i system supports dlopen() and shl_load()
to load libraries. When you build glib, it select dlopen as the
preferred method to load libraries, and it equates the ".so" extension
with dlopen() libraries. The fix is to firce glib to use shl_load. We
did this by modifying the configure.in file in glib-1.2.10 to check
for shl_load() first.
