root@linux:~# ssh user@solaris /usr/local/bin/scp -v
user@solaris's password:
usage: scp [-1246BCpqrv] [-c cipher] [-F ssh_config] [-i identity_file]
           [-l limit] [-o ssh_option] [-P port] [-S program]
           [[user@]host1:]file1 [...] [[user@]host2:]file2

All Solaris boxes have empty /var/ld/ld.config files and crle reports:

Default configuration file (/var/ld/ld.config) not found
  Default Library Path (ELF):   /usr/lib  (system default)
  Trusted Directories (ELF):    /usr/lib/secure  (system default)
