Sorry, I can't help you much with that, ld-linux is not installed here
and I don't know which package it is from.

But many binaries are links to the original binary which, when started,
check under what name they were started and behave accordingly. So the
fact that it's the same binary does not mean it cannot do the job.

Try asking it what options in knows with --help or -h or whatever works.
And have a look at the man page with "man ld-linux".

If all that gives not enough hints you could go to www.freebsd.org and
look in the at the documentation. The handbook and maybe the developers
handbook or FAQ may help.

HTH somehow,
