  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
