Well, /usr/libexec/ld.so is a FreeBSD program so don't expect it to load
Linux binaries :-)

So:
1. remove your link,
2. get the linux_lib package from your CD or FTP site.

It will be installed in /compat/linux/lib where it does belong. Ensure you
have sufficient space in "/" (better: move it elsewhere and make a link)
before extracting the package. It contains libc, ld.so and X11 libs.
