This one is a good syntax.  Otherwise you could use
"CHECKPKG_OVERRIDES =", but then it would apply to all the packages
within the build description, not just CSWilmbase.

As far as debugging is concerned: could you show show the resulting
override file?  Is it created, and is it in the right directory?  It
should be in /opt/csw/share/checkpkg/overrides/ilmbase in the package
and it should contain lines such as "CSWilmbase: symbol-not-found
libIex.so.2.0.2".
