OK, my fault. However I still do not see how it should help. getconf
LIBPATH returns
lib:LD_LIBRARY_PATH
while Roland's patch was adding LD_LIBRARY_PATH_32 and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 which are different entities than LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Solaris is an operating system which can execute both 32bit and 64bit
applications where LD_LIBRARY_PATH_32 affects only 32bit applications
while LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 is for 64bit applications only.
If I understand April's and Roland's plans correctly they are planning
to ship BOTH 32bit and 64bit versions of ksh93 simultaneously in
Solaris which means that getconf LIBPATH is inappropriate in this case
