ELF is a format for executable binary files. The error means that module
is missing. Try locate ld-linux.so.2. I get:

locate ld-linux.so.2
/usr/compat/linux/lib/ld-linux.so.2

The module is a part of the linux_base package. If you have
linux_base-x.x installed, perhaps it was deleted somehow. Otherwise you
need that package/port.
