In what drectory do you have this binary? It's in /emul/linux/something,
isn't it? I think it needs to be for the emulation to get correctly
flaged. Also, the linux libs need to be in /emul/linux/lib or some such
place.

Do you also have EMULATE_SVR4 (I think that's the one; the other ELF-ish
i386 OS)? If so, you can have linux emulation problems. :-(

Take care,
