Just in case anyone's interested in the outcome, I've finally got this
library working.

The suggestion from Tivoli was to have the operating system in 32-bit mode,
since other people with the same problem also were running in 64-bit mode,
and also to upgrade to the 3.7.4 server code.

First I tried booting in 32-bit mode (by doing "boot kernel/unix" at the ok
prompt) but it didn't help.
So then I rebuilt the server from scratch in 32-bit mode, and it still
didn't help.

Finally I upgraded to the 3.7.4 server code, and that did the trick.

Moral of the story: if you want to use an L20 library with Solaris, you need
to be at 3.7.4 or better.
