We would need to add an additional errno for this and document it as a
possible return code from execve(). I thought about doing that a while
ago, but decided it was not a very good idea. Now that the pmax elf
stuff is integrated, there is a better reason to add it.

SCO binaries are COMPAT_IBCS2; Solaris and other SVR4 binaries are
COMPAT_SVR4. I guess that you'll need all the shared libraries for it
too.
