I enquired about this a few months ago (but didn't hear anything in reply). As
far as I've been able to work out, the facility was never intended to work
with ELF executables because no-one's updated it from using a.out executables.
It's a shame since that can be quite useful on machines where disk space is
tight, but I have no idea how hard it will be to get working again.
