Did you also do a 32-> 64-bit migration at some point?  You probably should
have moved everything in /usr/local/lib/compat to /usr/local/lib32 then to
avoid problems.  32-bit apps shouldn't look for their shlibs in
/usr/local/lib on a 64-bit system.  You can manually move any remaining ones
by using the "file" command to identify 32-bit files, then moving them (or
removing them if you have no 32-bit apps anymore).
