(I do not have the 2.3.6 solibs package, just SW11 installed to a 
partition.  I did not copy over libpthread, libpcprofile, libmemusage, a 
newer ldd and ldconfig.)

firefox 1.5 and seamonkey 1.1.15 have identical dependencies except that 
seamonkey also needs libXi, and it was compiled against libstdc++.so.5 not 
6, and will accept the older Slackware 8.1 libgcc_s.so.1.  (The 
pango-cairo stuff is needed by the Installer version of SM 1.1.05 and by 
Seamonkey 2 and Firefox 3).

Precompiled firefox 1.5 was missing:

libgcc_s.so.1 (wanted GCC_3.3 version)
libstdc++.so.6

I copied both from Slackware 11 to /usr/lib/

Now firefox acts like seamonkey - neither loads, same strace output.
So if firefox works in upgraded BL2, so should seamonkey 1.1.15.

I am obviously missing something.
