I did not care about understanding what was going wrong.
As implementing gnu sed, make and tar as standard commmands under Solaris is
not recommended, the workaround I use is to create links towards
gsed, gmake and gtar (local names of GNU versions) in /usr/local/gnu
and to set this dir ahead in the path, in the shell where I compile.

I guess this is quickly set up, so you may spare time to manage more
important stuff than this.

I also tried to redefine command name in the script, but this does not
work in a shell script as in a makefile, so I preferred the other way,
where I'm sure that forking exports the path.

PS the reamining dynamic libraries are:
/usr/local/LyX/bin/tex2lyx:

  **** DYNAMIC SECTION INFORMATION ****
.dynamic:
[INDEX] Tag         Value
[1]     NEEDED          libstdc++.so.5
[2]     NEEDED          libgcc_s.so.1
[3]     NEEDED          libz.so
[4]     NEEDED          libm.so.1
[5]     NEEDED          libc.so.1

I thought the build was completely static. Would this impair
execution on any SolarisSparc ?
