Ah, a response!  More than I've had all week. :-)

It turns out that I had completely overlooked updating
/usr/libexec/ld.elf_so.  I updated that and my problems mysteriously
disappeared.

Silly me thought that ld.*_so were part of rtld under gnu/usr.bin
somewhere hidden.  Never thought to look in plain sight.

Sorry to have troubled y'all.
