Thank you for your help.

1. ktrace it

   282 ktrace   execve("./example", 0xbfbfd810, 0xbfbfd818) Err#8 ENOEXEC

2. add debugging printfs to exec_elf32.c

It fails with ENOEXEC in exec_elf32.c at ELFNAME2(exec,makecmds) at the
"goto bad;" in the following code snippet.  I am not familiar with this
code, do you have time to give any more hints?

Thanks,

Ben
