How to use older libs in 32bit mode?

Hello Peter.

I have checked several times the mail list and each time I pass those 
*tests*

server3# strings /libexec/ld-elf32.so.1 | grep libmap32
/etc/libmap32.conf

Hum.. They aren't
server3# ls -l
total 504
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  173248 Nov  5 13:42 ld-elf.so.1
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  151620 Nov 26 04:02 ld-elf32.so.1

somebody sent me a copy on a system that did work and they didn't have 
the same ld-elf files either

Hum. Now that's weird. I'm not using 5.3-release anymore but STABLE.
This is an extract of the cvsup file i'm using:
*default host=cvsup.au.freebsd.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
# The following line is for 4-stable.  If you want 3-stable or 
2.2-stable,
# change "RELENG_4" to "RELENG_3" or "RELENG_2_2" respectively.
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5

I did a make update last night and recompiled both KERNEL and WORLD

I did with both. Same result.
First I did a makebuildworld make installworld , tried the simple Hello 
World program compiled on a FreeBSD 5.3-release i386 machine: core dump

Then i deleted the /lib32 and /usr/lib32 and ran the build32.sh 
scripts. Same result: core dump

If you could give me more details on how to do this it would be great.

Thank you for your time and help here
