Instead of [destructively] change the Linux binary in order to run it
under Solaris,
wouldn't it be better to do the job on the fly via dynamic linker ?
Linux binaries conveniently use /lib/ld-linux.so.1 (as opposed to
/lib/ld.so.1 for
Solaris). So one would imaging that if you will provide a
/lib/ld-linux.so.1 that
knows how to fix the relocations that would get you what you need, w/o touch
the binaries. Does it make sense ?
