fwiw, the ELF patches are required for code like

  clearenv();
  getpagesize();

e.g. the information about the elfaux vector must be stored very early
(--> before main()); deriving it from 'environ' is unreliable.

ARM is tested too... perhaps more than x86/x86_64...

I fixed the two issues in the bugreport. Nevertheless, PARISC related
patches are untested.
