Here's a simple program to show you your pages size ;-), Now I don't
know enough about the elfinfo size and such to make this a real program,
but it should at least prove a point!

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv, char **env)
{
int i;
long *p;

for (i=0; env[i]; i++);
p = (long*)(&env[i+1]);
for (i=0; i < 10; i++) {
long type = *p++;
if (type == 6)
printf("pagesz = 0x%lx (%ld)\n",*p,*p);
p++;
}

return 0;
}
