Hi. I faced this problem today on 7.3 kernel & 7.2 world.
quagga refused to start bgpd with error:
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/sbin/bgpd: invalid PT_PHDR.
Issue fixed after cp'ing /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 from 7.3 world.

So I think the next entry probably needs to be (belatedly) added to
7'th UPDATING
and/or errata as (as far as I know) that brakes "newer kernel usually works with
older world" users expectation.

20100119:
        PIE support has been improved. Kernel maps PIE binaries at non-zero
        base address. Users need to rebuild rtld(1) to hook up with a new
        kernel.
