I also have two reports of people missing stpcpy().  Would it be
possible to link ymessenger.bin against libc.so.5 and then add a small
pre-load library to wrap any missing libc.so.4 calls directly?  This
way, 3rd party libraries would still load normally.  Unfortunately, this
week is very busy at work, and I don't have a pure 5.1 machine to test
with.
