This means that the ELF interpreter (/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2) cannot be found.
 You need to apply patchelf --set-interpreter to change the interpreter to the
one in our Glibc.  Look at some other binary packages such as Adobe Reader or
Google Earth as an example.

This also fails because "ldd" is a shell script that actually invokes the binary
(with some magic environment variables set) to get the dynamic library dependencies.
