Hard coded links in R12.1.1 SOLARIS 10 64 bit Rapid Install stack

Question

Hi,
Just a heads up for anyone using the Solaris 10 64 bit Rapid Install.
I am doing a 11.5.10.2 > 12.1.1 upgrade on Solaris 10 64-bit.
On my Rapid Install delivered R12.1.1 tech stack there are some hard coded links to Oracle test server files in the 10.1.2 and 10.1.3 lib32 directories. Which is not a good thing - it stops little things like adpatch working!
e.g.
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/lib32
$ ls -l ldflags
$ lrwxrwxrwx 1 appdugc dba 56 Feb 4 16:21 ldflags -> */d4/R12/ab/apps/R1211XB9/*apps/tech_st/10.1.2/lib/ldflags
This leads to libclntsh.so not being generated and errors like this when running adpatch:
ld.so.1: adpatch: fatal: /*/*/*/apps/tech_st/10.1.2/lib/libclntsh.so.10.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
Killed
The fix is to recreate the soft links to point to the correct local mount points/paths
How on earth did that slip through?
I raised an SR on this issue and got no where at all. I only got to the bottom of it when I noticed the /d4/R12 path and googled that. I then found Vikram's article at http://oracleappstechnology.blogspot.com/2009/09/r1211-apache-wont-start.html and realised that it was the cause of my problems too.

Hello All,
I faced the same situation. This is what I did to fix the issue on all the Tiers that has the Applications Tech Stack.
cd "applications install base"
find ./inst ./apps -type l -exec ls -l {} \; | grep d4
Set your applications environment appropriately using APPS<instance>_<host>.env under the APPL_TOP
cd $ORACLE_HOME
