They are not being recognized as binary executables - the
system thinks they are shell scripts.

I would say to use "ldd" and "ktrace" to see what's happening,
but you do not say whether you are talking about binaries in
/usr/bin or /emul/netbsd32/usr/bin.  If the latter, then
use "/usr/bin/ldd" and "/usr/bin/ktrace" to see what the
system thinks those binaries are (ldd), and where it goes to
look for things (shared libraries, etc.) when it runs (ktrace).
