Just a thought - maybe default path for a shell should depend on a
mode a OS booted (32bit vs. 64bit) so if one booted into 64bit all
64bit system tools are first on a path? That way isaexec won't be
necessary and it should work in many cases (except for script
providing a full path - but then the behavior for them will stay the
same as it is today).
One of the mechanisms a couple of us have been chatting about is to add
a flag to mount to not following symlinks on mount... so that w/ lofs
one could mount a symlink on top of a symlink (don't make that funny
face, please :-)) so then:
/usr/bin/<cmd> -> ./arch/cmd
/usr/bin/arch -> ../32
or alternatively
/usr/bin/arch -> ../64
if I got that right pre-coffee :-).
This would also let us handle libc.so.1 w symlinks rather than hiding
binaries w/ lofs mounts.
