I'm still getting up to speed with 3.4 myself, and I'm not sure where all of these ELF and a.out files come from during install, or exactly what they do, but I would go back into sysinstall (provided you haven't updated your system since without updating /stand since) and install all of the compat and Linux compatibility files. I don't know if they are all necessary, but that's what I did during my initial install. # cd /usr/libexec # ls | wc tells me I have 52 files and directories in /usr/libexec, and I have a rather minimal system at this point. If I were you you, I would s*bscribe to this list -- it's very helpful, and gives you the opportunity to help others in return.
