I am attempting to run binaries created on a 486DX running USL's SVR4,
which I understand uses ELF type binaries. I have compiled the ELF
(and COFF) support into my 0.99.14h kernel.
When I attempt to execute one of these binaries, I get a message like:
./vim: Can not access a needed shared library
What gives? Just to be sure that it wasn't a problem with vim itself,
I recompiled it as a staticly linked executable, and I still get the
error message. Is there some shared library I need for Linux, in order
to run ELF binaries?
BTW, I am running Slackware 1.1.1, 0.99.14h, GCC 2.4.5, and libc 4.4.4.
Thanks!

This is pretty much the size of it. I have forgotten where I uploaded
this (it was some time ago), but I think that you will find the required stuff
on tsx-11 in pub/linux/packages/SLS/a3/elfabi.tgz.
Note that this may not work for anything that tries to use fancy
syscalls. I have been meaning to update this, and once the IBCS2 stuff is in
the distribution kernel I will be able to fix the elfabi so that the SVr4
binary support will work much better.
