It looks like it was compiled with a (now) bogus version of crt0.o.
The mmap call for ld.so fails. I've a previous version that does work fine.
The libraries are fine.

In the latest version of -current a bug was introduced in I guess the 
memory mapping and all versions  of the  Xserver stopped working.
I hope it is fixed already .

After the changes to 64bit filepointers you can't link the old
version because the size of the stat structure is different now.

I'm running binaries 2.1 old and libraries 2.1 new.
