What causes 'ld.so: __DYNAMIC version 0 not supported' ???

[Buc Richards]

We are running a program called I-DEAS on SparcStations, the program
upon startup returns.

        ld.so: __DYNAMIC version 0 not supported

Does this error message have a common cause?

I ran a trace on the executable which is shown below.

_______________________________________________________________________________
trace idears.exe
open ("/usr/lib/ld.so", 0, 0341700) = 3
read (3, "".., 32) = 32
mmap (0, 40960, 5, 0x80000002, 3, 0) = 0xf77e0000
mmap (0xf77e8000, 8192, 7, 0x80000012, 3, 32768) = 0xf77e8000
open ("/dev/zero", 0, 07) = 4
close (3) = 0
write (2, "ld.so: __DYNAMIC version 0 not s".., 42) = ld.so: __DYNAMIC version 0 not supported
42
exit (127) = ?
_______________________________________________________________________________

The error appears to originate from the file,

        /usr/lib/ld.so

For it contains the string

        @ld.so: __DYNAMIC version %d not supported

Any pointers to the cause of this error is appreciated.

Thanks.
