You're not the only one who had this problem.  When I upgraded from
May 2's kernel to May 8's kernel, I noticed that:

 1. Old dynamic executables wouldn't work with the new kernel
 2. New dynamic executables wouldn't work with the old kernel

I was able to upgrade by a carefully orchestrated process, which
included plenty of backups.  :-)

I am also confused that other people didn't post about this.  Maybe if
I had been keeping up to date every day I wouldn't have had the
problem.
