No, if there is a problem it is somewhere in crtstuff, ld.elf_so, or
early libc initialization. When it dies, it dies long before main and
long before anything in emacs itself gets control.

In particular, _libc_init chokes on a wrong __ps_strings value
apparently either passed in from the kernel, garbaged by ld.elf_so, or
maybe otherwise mishandled somewhere in the startup logic.

Rubbish.
