Are you trying to run OpenServer(?) 5.x ELF binaries? If so, I don't think
that has ever worked. When I last touched IBCS2 compatibility, it only
supported the ODT 3.0 (COFF) format. I've been meaning to look at this but
I don't have 5.0 running and the only financial incentive I had to run
it went away 3 months ago 8-}
If you're trying to run COFF binaries and you have COMPAT_IBCS2, then
something else is broken...
