-You have invoked `ld.so', the helper program for shared library executables.\n\
-This program usually lives in the file `/lib/ld.so', and special directives\n\
-in executable files using ELF shared libraries tell the system's program\n\
-loader to load the helper program from this file.  This helper program loads\n\
-the shared libraries needed by the program executable, prepares the program\n\
-to run, and runs it.  You may invoke this helper program directly from the\n\
-command line to load and run an ELF executable file; this is like executing\n\
-that file itself, but always uses this helper program from the file you\n\
-specified, instead of the helper program file specified in the executable\n\
-file you run.  This is mostly of use for maintainers to test new versions\n\
-of this helper program; chances are you did not intend to run this program.\n\
