chroot too many levels of symbolic links

There is a serious problem in the '3buildeasydistro' script in woofQ, building Easy Bookworm. In a few places it runs "chroot rootfs-complete ...", that now fail. Let's see, this works:

# chroot rootfs-complete /bin/busybox ls
audit          etc            lib64          puninstall.sh  usr
bin            files          mnt            root           var
boot           home           opt            sbin
dev            lib            proc           tmp
#

This doesn't:

# chroot rootfs-complete /bin/ls
chroot: failed to run command ‘/bin/ls’: Too many levels of symbolic links
#

Where 'ls' is a binary, not a symlink. I find that error message to be confusing. It looks like 'ls' is having trouble finding its shared libraries. 'busybox' is statically-linked, so no problem.

Hmmm, will investigate further.

EDIT:
Yes, /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 was a symlink to itself. So, a circular loop.

A quick note: currently working on Easy Bookworm. Have bumped 'limine' bootloader to version 3.21 (up from 3.16).
