  Wondering if anyone has given any thought to this. I'd like to
be able to grab a binary from an AT&T SVR3.X system and run it under
Linux. At the least the header is incompatible, but if I worked up
code to read the other header style, how much more would have to
be done? (Would the VM code be able to page it in?)
  I know that many system calls could cause problems, but I'm
interested in this with the assumption in mind that a few might
have to do special argument processing.
