But not if you also have SVR4 emulation as well. Can
arch/i386/conf/GENERIC be changed to reflect this? One should be
enabled by default, I suggest linux.
# enable only one of SVR4 or Linux/ELF
#options COMPAT_SVR4 # binary compatibility with SVR4
#options COMPAT_LINUX # binary compatibility with Linux
options EXEC_ELF
options COMPAT_IBCS2 # binary compatibility with SCO and ISC
