Well, that works... after a fashion...

It makes the static binary work fine, but incites the dynamic binary
to:

BUG! (Segmentation Fault)  Going down hard...
SimCity 3000 Unlimited 2.0.955a
Built with glibc-2.1 on x86
Stack dump:
{
        0x402d2928
}

It does that after a brief screen flash and the music begins, but then
immediately drops out of the ether.
