 That's because the assert() macro puts the full filename of the current file 
 into the binary when it is compiled for the error message.  The binary is not 
 trying to read anything from /usr/src itse.f

 It certainly sounds like you have mixed and matched some things.  Maybe just 
 do a minimal install but include the 'lib32' dist for 32-bit binary compat?  
 minimal probably doesn't include it (but vi also should be a 64-bit binary, 
 try using 'file' rather than brandelf to see what file thinks vi is).
