  This bit me good as well.  I was running single user on a 5000/50 because
I had been having problems in multiuser.  I kept getting __stat13 undefined,
but it was really in the shared libary.  I finally got smart and used
ldconfig to see what shared libraries were really being used.  I found that
libc.so.12.19 (which doesn't have __stat13) was the only one known to ld.so.
The programs were being linked using libc.so.12.20, but were trying to use
libc.so.12.19 at runtime.  What had happened was that ld.so was using stale
data in /etc/ld.so.cache - because I was running single user, /etc/ld.so.cache
had never gotten updated with libc.so.12.20.  Once I updated /etc/ld.so.cache,
things worked much better.
