Hi. Yesterday I tried updating a pristine sparc64 box from 6.2-RELEASE via 
6-STABLE to -CURRENT. Unfortunately /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 appears to have 
been broken. I am now left with a box on which every program will dump 
core. I guess I'll replace ld-elf.so.1 with the old version, but that 
still does not solve the installworld problems (unless I hack out 
the install in libexec/rtld-elf)

I'm rather surprised noone else is reporting this. I'm pretty sure I 
followed all the recommended steps in /usr/src/UPDATING.

Cheers
Michiel
