Cleaning the /tmp directory at startup usually is controlled
via an /etc/rc.conf setting: it's clear_tmp_enable="YES".

As far as I got from searching for "ld-elf" related stuff,
a command like

	# cd /usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf
	# make install

could do the trick. But I haven't checked this, and I am
not sure.

If your source tree is still intact, you could install it from
there.

It may be possible that the system doesn't run "well enough" to
perform this task. In such a case a live file system could help
you, e. g. the FreeBSD rescue system or a FreeSBIE bootable CD.
