On Linux afaik that points to a wrong dynamic loader, on
*BSD to a missing ELF ident section (since that is how most
BSDs link binary to dynamic linker)
Using elfdump -n might reveal which programs have an elf ident section.
(and objdump has some options to view elf headers, and objdump -D can be
used to find the section's content)
I'll see if I can dig a copy of elfdump out later, but I seriously feel
that v7 (both SPARC and Solaris) is too old to take any trouble over. On
the other hand, v8 probably is worth trying to keep alive since it
includes big machines like the Xerox/Cray servers (FPC tells gas to
assume v9, but I'm not sure it really means it).
I've raised the original -i etc. issue as
