After you stated this fact, I also see that I have some weird symbolic links in /lib -
and I recall some strange thing I did: I used prior to the flash mem drive as stated
above one that has been released on Feb, 3rd! Therefore, I think, the weird date. All my
boxes I have investigated after your comment here do have /lib updated accordingly to the
last "make installworld". Except the box that is suffering the problems!

I think my little stupid "pax" manouvre in the first place corrupted something and after
I failed, I swapped to a more recent FreeBSD image (23rd March) and fullfilled - with
hidden consequences :-(

The question of how to install a FreeBSD completely (means: force a complete install of a
world except configuration files, I was having the libs in mind) arose from this problem.

Once in my office again, I'll check that and somehow I need a plan how to
update/exchange /lib without corrupting the system. Now /rescue with statically linked
binaries come into play. Maybe a "DESTDIR=" driven shadow installation should suffice.
The /lib folder on healthy systems do not show symbolic links ...
