It's a bit irritating what the assembler does.

It opens the destination file, skips the (not yet written) 32 byte exec
header and then tries to write an output buffer of size zero reduced
by the size of the exec header (thus the -32).

I'd like to see what st_blksize value you get when you stat() a file
on the SunOS client. Unfortunately there is no stat(1) program, maybe
adb can help and you can get the result of:

| fstat (4, 0xdfffe54) = 0
