Only after removing the refernce to rtld(1) :-).

rtld(1) isn't installed by default anymore, so it shouldn't be xrefed.
I've done *many* "make world"'s in the last 5 months or so, and the last time
rtld(1) was installed was last May (about when I upgraded my main machine
from 2.2.8 - 4.0-current).  My "virgin" 3.2 machine, and my 3.3-RC 
machine do not have rtld.1 at all.

Yes, rtld(1) can be installed under some configurations, but since
you have to jump through some hoops to do that, we shouldn't xref rtld(1).

(This reminds me, I should probably blow away my current /usr/share/man
just so I can catch these kinds of things with 'manck')
