That'll sure cause problems. :-(  But it also means something peculiar
is wrong with the kernel; to be producing the behavior you're seeing,
exec must be returning ENOENT, when it should be returning something
more like ENOEXEC.

I have a copy of an older sun-3 binary snapshot online.  It's all
unpacked and merged into a single tree, though, not in the original
format of a bunch of different .tar.gz files.  I can package up and
send you any desired subset of it.  This snapshot is known to mostly
work; I've done a full user-land rebuild (ie, everything but the
kernel) from source using it.  (I can, if you prefer, send you the
binaries resulting from the rebuild.)
