I was able to get it to work by following different instructions on 
patching the /usr/src tree.

# cd /usr/src
# fetch http://people.FreeBSD.org/~nork/rtld_dlsym_hack.diff 
<http://people.FreeBSD.org/%7Enork/rtld_dlsym_hack.diff>
# patch < rtld_dlsym_hack.diff
# cd libexec/rtld-elf/
# make clean
# make obj
# make depend
# make
# make install

worked like a charm ;o)
