I believe the exec* functions are
declared incorrectly.  Unless I'm mistaken,
execve should be declared as

int
execve(const char *path, const char *const argv[], const char *const envp[]);

rather than

int
execve(const char *path, char *const argv[], char *const envp[]);

(Note the additional 'const' for argv and envp.)
Without this, there's no completely correct way to
build an argv or envp array with constant strings,
since you end up discarding a const somewhere along
the way.  Similar edits should be done to the other
exec* declarations.

Yes, GCC complains either way, since it (erroneously)
warns about adding const-ness in a pointer assignment.
(But only if you routinely use '-pedantic', which I
doubt many people do. ;-)
