Sure.  Close the PR.

I update my systems via "make world", and I went from aout to
elf format via "make update; make world".  I have the equivalent
of the compatXX installed on my system with respect to the binaries
and libraries.  I do not have rtld.1 except in /usr/src/whatever.
The .Xr to rtld(1) in dlopen(3) should be removed on a FreeBSD-current
system.
