anybody have an idea of what is breaking on libGLU on sparc64?

-L/usr/local/lib precedes -L../../../lib, so it tries to link
with /usr/local/lib/libGL.so.1 rather than the internally
built copy (sparc64 or not). [1]

The question is, I think: why is /usr/local/lib/libGL.so seemingly
invalid (empty?)?  That should have just come from the pkg_add of
dependencies.

[1] So why bother building libGL.so.1 in the working dirs?  But that's
just an build efficiency question.  libGLU.so.1 needs a copy of
libGL.so.1 in /usr/local/lib at run time.
