FWIW, my recent 4.x installs exhibit the same problem, but without the
compat libraries being in /usr/local.  E.g.:

> ldd /usr/local/jdk1.1.8/bin/i386/green_threads/java 
/usr/local/jdk1.1.8/bin/i386/green_threads/java:
        libjava.so => not found (0x0)
        libxpg4.so.2 => /usr/lib/compat/libxpg4.so.2 (0x28066000)
        libm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libm.so.2 (0x2806a000)
        libc.so.3 => /usr/lib/compat/libc.so.3 (0x28085000)
> /usr/local/jdk1.1.8/bin/java -version 
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/lib/libm.so.2: Undefined symbol "__stderrp"

The compat library is installed via the ports system:

> pkg_info | grep compat3x
compat3x-i386-4.4.20020925 A convenience package to install the compat3x libraries

I think Shudo-san's analysis of the problem is correct and the current 4.x
libm is incompatible with 3.x applications.  This hasn't always been true
though and I haven't looked for when this became the case (yet).
