I've pretty much completed my board bringup of an OCTEON based board, but a=
m still battling one *major* issue. Dynamically linked executables do not w=
ork at all. Any time I try to run one, I get "Exec format error" (ENOEXEC).=
 Sample output from file is:

Statically linked /bin/cat:

bin/cat:      ELF 64-bit MSB executable, MIPS, MIPS64 rel2 version 1 (FreeB=
SD), for FreeBSD 9.0 (900035), statically linked, FreeBSD-style, not stripp=
ed

Dynamically linked /usr/bin/size:

usr/bin/size: ELF 64-bit MSB executable, MIPS, MIPS64 rel2 version 1 (FreeB=
SD), for FreeBSD 9.0 (900035), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), FreeB=
SD-style, not stripped

For now, I've sort of worked around this by editing close to 1000 Makefiles=
 and making almost everything static. There must be a reason for this thoug=
h. I've done a fresh update and rebuilt everything including the toolchain.=
 Is there something missing from my system? The loader itself? Libraries? A=
n ldscript file?
