If you are executing a shell script, I've seen that error before when 
there were hidden utf-8 marks or dos line feeds in the first line.

I think I've also seen it when you compile a program and link it against 
  glibc and then try to run it against uclibc. It can't load the loader 
portion of the C library I think. Otherwise other missing linked library 
files typically provide an error message about 'unable to load libxxx.so'
