#x27;/usr/bin/gcc' succeeded, all
because the program used argv[0] to construct relative names to

original argv[0] spelling would be appreciated.

Because you didn't pass a single argument, but left trailing space which
bash tried to interpret as a second argument, and because no one has yet
provided the patch for the two execve() inconsistencies that this thread
has uncovered.
