Static linking? or LD_LIBRARY_PATH?  I guess that breaks down as soon
you want to run a perl script that uses DBD::Oracle with /usr/bin/perl
as the interpreter ... chances are your /usr/bin/perl will choke on
the version of printf() included with Oracle or whatever.

Do you think LSB will help here? And do we even have a chance of
getting commercial vendors to use LSBisms instead of Redhatisms?
