The following reply was made to PR bin/10366; it has been noted by GNATS. From: jbrody2@umbc.edu To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org, g3d@graphix.g3d.com Cc: Subject: Re: bin/10366: /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Invalid File Format Date: Fri, 09 Jul 1999 14:49:37 -0400 I've been getting this error also. I upgraded to the bin distribution from 3.2-RELEASE and built a new kernel from this version also. I've also tried replacing elf.h with the suggested version. None of these have seemed to help. Just thought I'd let you know (and hope for a fix :) ).
