Thanks! Here are the instructions. Make a copy of your supfile.
Let's call it "supfile.rtld". Now edit that file and add this line at
the beginning:
*default date=99.08.25.00.00.00
Run cvsup as usual, except for two changes:
1. Specify "supfile.rtld" instead of your usual supfile.
2. Add "-i src/libexec/rtld-elf" to the command line.
That should back out the recent changes to ld-elf.so.1 quickly,
without affecting anything else.
Next, build and install the dynamic linker:
1. Make a backup copy of "/usr/libexec/rtld-elf.so.1".
2. Run these commands:
cd /usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf
make cleandir; make cleandir
make obj
make depend
make all
make install
And try it out.
Your next regular cvsup run will undo the changes.

I was hoping for something simpler that wouldn't require me to
figure out how to configure mirror-script. :-(
