Thank you;
I have a few old FreeBSD binaries, they execute again.

Re. /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1, it is installed on my system,
seems like they are changed on installworld (mtime changed);
anyway they aren't removed on upgrade ('make upgrade'),
so all hosts which has been source upgraded for a few years will have file.
