I'm no loader expert, so I'll leave that to someone else.  But,
ld.so(1) also isn't on my 3.2, or 3.3 systems, much less the actual
ld.so binary.  It is on my 4.0 system, but I suspect that is left over 
from when this machine used to be 2.2.8 before I upgraded it to 3.2 then
4.0.  I should really do a fresh 4.0 install on this machine :-(.

Someone is slowly working on an elf(5) man page.

As a side note, link(5) could probably use a "SEE ALSO" section.

I don't have an rtld command installed on any of my 3.2, 3.3, or 4.0 systems,
so I don't think we need to create a man page for it.
