Fail. Didn't read your reply carefully enough. You wasn't asking for my info.

Thanks anyway

I don't think we get enough information from the operating system in order to 
generate the message that you'd like to see, unfortunately.

[issue44759] ctype generates misleading error-msg opening lib.so when compiled for wrong arch

[Stephan Bökelmann]

New submission from Stephan Bökelmann :

When trying to open a lib.so that has been compiled for a different 
architecture an error-msg is emitted saying. "no such file or directory" 

this is misleading behavior. changing the error-msg to. "library not compatible 
with architecture" would have saved me an hour of work ;)
