Sorry - I meant ELIBEXEC, not ENOEXEC. I thought I should keep quiet about
ELIBEXEC because Unix98 does not mention it but since it is in
<asm/errno.h> on Linux then we might as well use it?

Subject: execve("libm.so") -> SIGSEGV instead of ENOEXEC.
Hello guys,
An attempt to exec() a shared library causes SIGSEGV. I thought the only
two things you can do to a shared library is to dlopen() it or link with
it dynamically. So, I assume trying to execve(2) it is illegal and hence
it should return an error, perhaps ENOEXEC.
