   Unfortunately, you're currently pretty much stuck doing this. It's
   a bad way of doing things, the path to the interpreter effectively
   functions as an OS identification. Linux has the following in the kernel
   sources:

As far as I can see, it is not necessary to check the dynamic
interpreter in the kernel.  Instead, the dynamic interpreter for a
particular OS emulation can use a different library search path, and
use a library which is correct for the system being emulated.  If
necessary, a special kernel call can be used to set the emulation mode
of the process.
