This file is a lot older, it looks. I'm not sure why it would change
things, but the icc-q2 build process should produce a 'gamei386.so'.
I'm not sure where you got the current gamei386.so but I'm guessing it
wasn't from the icculus quake2's source tree.
Perhaps replacing the one you have there now with the one from the
build process would fix things -- although I'm just guessing because I
imagine they should be equivalent. Perhaps differing compile options
cause the quake2 binary and that shared object not to be linkable...
