We are getting there; try changing:

        if ((eh->e_ident[EI_BRAND] == '\0'
		|| strcmp(&eh->e_ident[EI_BRAND], wantBrand) != 0)
	    && eh->e_ident[EI_OSABI] != ELFOSABI_FREEBSD)
		return ENOEXEC;

to:

        if ((eh->e_ident[EI_BRAND] == '\0'
		|| strcmp(&eh->e_ident[EI_BRAND], wantBrand) != 0)
	    && (eh->e_ident[EI_OSABI] != ELFOSABI_FREEBSD &&
		eh->e_ident[EI_OSABI] != 0))
		return ENOEXEC;
