I have the same problem with Mathematica. However, it's not the libs.

Up to now the only solution I found was copying the files to
disk and brand them with brandelf.
However, I don't want everytime to copy half the CD to disk first.

I am looking for an easy way to make Linux's ELF the default
(preferably with a sysctl).
Though, looking in imgact_elf.c didn't enlighten me.
