>Description:
Previous to 3.1, I had been running 3.0-RELEASE.  ELF was already
installed and running on the system.  After upgrading via CDROM to 
3.1-RELEASE, a few X ELF applications, specifically window manager-related
applications such as KDE's kwm, or the enlightenment binary, etc. Would 
refuse to run reporting  '/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Invalid File Format'.
This puzzled me since it has never happened before and ELF was not foreign
to my system prior to 3.1.  Mind you, this is with the KDE and enlightenment 
precompiled packages off of the CDROM.  

I tried going into /usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf/ and remaking the library but 
the problem persists.  Not all X/ELF binaries are affected.  I've successfully
ran many other ELF binaries.  It just so happens that for some reason these 
window manager binaries refuse to run correctly.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run /usr/local/bin/kwm from the KDE-1.0 or 1.1 version ELF from package
Run /usr/X11R6/bin/enlightenment in ELF format from the package
