  ELF binaries need to be branded before use.  ELF is a bit stupid in the
fact that it doesn't indicate what platform the binary is for.  So you
need to use brandelf to write the type into the binary, so the loader
knows that it is Linux ELF.

  Apparently, some ELF binaries are branded before you get them.
