That's what I discovered a few hours ago: the signature routine is not
able to identify LinuxPPC executable with signature or gcc_signature,
but it can see that it is a Linux executable when it is a shared
executable beacause of the "/lib/ld-linux" string.

It seems there is no difference with LINUX_GCC_SIGNATURE. NetBSD is not
able to distinguish LinuxPPC binaries with this method.

So here we have a problem: how can we match Linux statically linked
executables? This would be espacially usefull since shared executables
do not work yet (they crash). I need to try simple static programs to
find what's wrong and fix the problem...
