No, in general you should not proceed if patching failed or you're going
to mess up your system. The patch is supposed to be applied under
/usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf. The dfport override should have told you the
right operation(but somehow the web server was not functioning when you
tried to fetch it, sorry about that). I put it on leaf:

Try the following as root
(assuming you didn't `make install' more than once)
# cd /usr/libexec
# mv ld-elf.so.1.old ld-elf.so.1

If this doesn't work, you need to reinstall from the Live CD.
