Probably because libelf is missing.

rpm2cpio
Or what I normally do when I do this (and playing with disk driver debugging
is a good way to do it) is to take another box with the same FC release and do
mount USB stick
cp missing libraries from /lib /usr/lib ..
umount USB stick
mount on broken box
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mnt/myusbstick:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
(or add the path to /etc/ld.so.preload)
