Isn't there a flag (-r?) to ld on SGI to tell it to remember the
directory where it found the shared library to satisfy the initial
linking? 

FWIW, I've just installed NumPy on SunOS 4.1.3 and had a problem
building it dynamically. Compilation went fine, but loading ranlib or
fftpack caused python to quit: ld gave up, complaining it couldn't find
_sqrt, and for fftpack ld can't find _acos. The problem goes away if I
link fast_umath/umath statically. So... the math lib wasn't satisfying
any references when python was being linked, and so wasn't being linked
in?
