It's only mystifying the very first time: after you spent day or two trying to understand what's wrong with your file (redownload it, unpack it again, try to give it 777 permissions, etc) and finally ask on mailing list and get the answer "oh, well, it's obvious: you need 32bit-compatibility subsystem, the file which is not found is actually /lib/ld-linux.so.2, not the file which you are trying to run"... it's frustrating enough that you remember that fiasco for a looong time.
