Hi,

just to give other people who might walk into the same problem a chance to
recover:

It seems that yesterdays -current has a hosed ld.elf_so, at least on
/amd64 maybe also others. Keep your previous /libexec/ld.elf_so someplace
safe if you update now, and if you managed to win the lottery like I did,
boot -as1 with /rescue/init as your init if your init dies of signal 6
in a normal boot and your kernels lockdebug-panic half a second after
giving you the root partition prompt for boot -as.
The executables in /rescue will work.

regards,
        spz
