From /etc/defaults/rc.conf,

  ldconfig_paths_aout="/usr/lib/compat/aout /usr/X11R6/lib/aout /usr/local/lib/aout"

Feel free to add your own variation to override this in /etc/rc.conf.
Or just,

  # cd /usr/X11R6/lib
  # rm -rf aout
  # mv aoutlib aout

And you should be fine.

[snip quoted PR]

I doubt it is the same problem. The PR was for a run-time issue. Your
problem looks pretty strange.
