ldd /sbin/init (the old one)

Does it by any accident reference a library which is not on the root FS?
(E.g. is there /usr/lib/libc.so.5*, or got ld.so.conf messed up?)
I've had this bite me once. Removing the library at fault
(/opt/jdk1.1.5/.../libc.so.5... (!)) and ldconfig cured it, but don't
ask me how I found the problem :-/
