this does not work reliably. using your configuration, staroffice
still has to use the dynamic linker from /lib.

You can try to force the use of another dynamic linker, but staroffice spawns
quite a lot of other processes (system()), so you really get problems with
using environment variables.

Not to speak that the dynamic linker from 2.0 doesn't like 2.1 and vice
versa.
