As far as I can see this seems to be part of binutils-2.25 but not in Debian.htt
p://nixdoc.net/man-pages/FreeBSD/ld-elf.so.1.1.html gives some explanation about
this:The ld-elf.so.1 utility itself is loaded by the kernel together with any
     dynamically-linked program that is to be executed.  The kernel transfers
     control to the dynamic linker.  After the dynamic linker has finished
     loading, relocating, and initializing the program and its required shared
     objects, it transfers control to the entry point of the program.

fppkg for kfreebsd? Maybe we should start by having a compiler and RTL,and as
many packages as possible but not a full FPC as a start point.

Yes, this is a good start point, and maybe with newer version it is easier,
maybe not.
