      pntdevops-vvasilev discovered a bug in our .postinstall script that is damaging Solaris environments by overwriting ld's /var/ld/ld.config.

      When you run crle with "-l" you need to specify the original paths as well. Otherwise it will replace them.
      Here is from the man page:

      -l dir

      Specify a new default search directory dir for ELF objects. Multi-
      ple occurrences of this option are permitted.

      The default search paths for 32-bit ELF objects are /lib followed
      by /usr/lib. For 64-bit ELF objects, the default search paths are
      /lib/64 followed by /usr/lib/64.

      Use of this option replaces the default search path. Therefore, a
      -l option is normally required to specify the original system
      default in relation to any new paths that are being applied. How-
      ever, if the -u option is in effect, and a configuration file does
      not exist, the system defaults are added to the new configuration
      file. These defaults are added before the new paths specified with
      the -l option.

      I don't find this issue being a Blocker, because our JWS 3.0.3 httpd postinstall also contains just:

      276 if [ ".$SUGID" = ".root" ]
      277 then
      278     if [ -x /usr/bin/crle ]
      279     then
      280         /usr/bin/crle -u -64 -l $INSTALL_ROOT/lib64
      281     fi
      282 else
      283     echo "WARNING: Not a superuser. Solaris runtime linker environment \`crle' was not updated." >&2
      284 fi
