I know, but I'm not talking about the native FreeBSD /sbin/ldconfig
binary.

That is precisely the `ldconfig' I am speaking of. In order for FreeBSD
to have a Linux binary compatibility mode, we install a subset of RedHat
binaries and libraries. Thus there is a need to be able for the kernel
image loader to be able to recognize this binary. The .note.ABI-tag is
one way. So the poster (Kevin Buettner) that brought up the issue should
be pointed to that as a way to tell what syscall API a binary uses.
