>Description:

I just tried to update userland to latest -current as of a few hours ago
(clean build), and stopped set extraction shortly after base.tgz was done
(due to first failures).
Now everything fails to find libraries:

[/] gethsemane # ls
/bin/ls: Shared object "libutil.so.7" not found
[/] gethsemane # /rescue/ldd /bin/ls
/bin/ls:
        -lutil.7 => /lib/libutil.so.7
        -lgcc_s.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1
        -lc.12 => /lib/libc.so.12
[/] gethsemane # ldd /bin/ls
/usr/bin/ldd: Shared object "libgcc_s.so.1" not found
[/] gethsemane # /rescue/ls -l /lib/libutil.so.7
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  15 Jan 14 13:09 /lib/libutil.so.7 -> libutil.so.7.25
[/] gethsemane # /rescue/ls -l /lib/libutil.so.7.25
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  155088 Jan 14 13:08 /lib/libutil.so.7.25
[/] gethsemane # /rescue/ls -l /libexec/ld.elf_so
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  105404 Jan 14 13:39 /libexec/ld.elf_so


Downgrading ld.elf_so to the state of Jan 2 (arbitray quick pick for a
save version) fixes it.
