My 4.8-R and 4.8-S systems do not have this file:

marck at woozle:~> l -o /usr/libexec/lib-elf.so.1
ls: /usr/libexec/lib-elf.so.1: No such file or directory
marck at woozle:~> uname -a
FreeBSD woozle.rinet.ru 4.8-STABLE FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #4: Wed Apr 16 17:28:12
MSD 2003     marck at woozle.rinet.ru:/usr/obj/lh/src/sys/woozle  i386

root at kucha:/var# l -o /usr/libexec/lib-elf.so.1
ls: /usr/libexec/lib-elf.so.1: No such file or directory
root at kucha:/var# uname -a
FreeBSD kucha.rinet.ru 4.8-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE #2: Tue Apr  1 21:02:29
MSD 2003     marck at kucha.rinet.ru:/usr/obj/FreeBSD/src.stable-48/sys/kucha
i386

So, I suppose this file can be safely removed.

Sincerely,
