Replying to my own message in order to clarify:

As Glen suggested: If /tmp resides on its own partition, it could
still be intact. So mount /tmp and copy the file:

	# mount /tmp
	# cp /tmp/ld-elf.so.1 /libexec

I checked now. The "make" command produces ld-elf.so.1, at least
on my system. If "make install" doesn't work correctly, copy
the file manually.

	# cd /usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf
	# make
	# cp ld-elf.so.1 /libexec

Of course, you will need to have /usr mounted if it's not on
the / partition.
