Help getting to Current

That's correct. ld-elf.so.1 moved to /libexec from /usr/libexec in 5.2. 
If you don't have a 5.2 ld-elf.so and a 5.2 libc installed, 5.2 binaries
won't work at all.

Let me guess: you untarred the 5.2 sources into a 5.1 source tree?  Or
used cvsup with the "-s" option?  If so, delete the old 5.1 source tree
first and run a buildworld again.  telnet/telnetd/libtelnet was
substantially modified last july, and several duplicate files were
deleted.  If you don't delete these in your local source tree, they will
interfere with the build process.
