Dave, An LX-branded zone instantiates a significant amount of brand-specific data in order to "impersonate" the Linux syscall interface for the processes it contains. It is possible to run native binaries inside a branded zone thanks to a hook in the elfexec logic which causes the branding to be removed for that specific process. Doing the reverse outside a branded zone would mean instantiating an entire branded environment on exec, which is not particularly feasible.
