The problem here is that the ELF loader looks in a certain location
for the ELF interpreter. This is the most annoying problem with
Linux, they can't get a grip on where to put files, its a nightmare
to keep track of all the different places to look :( :(
However when one KNOWS where to look its easy fixable:
The patch is for -current, so you shouldn't have any troubles with
that, let me know if you get any further, it would be nice to have
matlab running...

So much code to hack -- so little time.
