Link using the gcc driver, not by calling ld directly. For example:
gcc -o callx.out caller.o callee.o

Yes, it's a very confusing error. It most likely occurs because when
you use the gcc driver it automatically passes the correct
-dynamic-linker option to the linker. Without that option, the name
of the dynamic linker stored in the executable by ld is incorrect and
the file does not exist. When the kernel tries to invoke the dynamic
linker, it fails.
