I made linuxemu compile again, and it seems that
it doesn't support dynamically linked binaries. I don't
think it's hard, but apparently never did it.

g% 8.out bin/a.hello
segattach(8000080,10b94)...
hello world
g%

right, /bin is typically statically linked, while /usr/bin
is dynamically linked. like i said, it wouldn't be too hard
to make dynamic linking work. in theory,

linuxemu ld-linux.so.1 bin/a.dynamic

is supposed to work, but unfortunately ld-linux.so.1
wants to be loaded where the linuxemu text segment is.
you'd need to move the linuxemu text segment somewhere
else and then segdetach it before calling elfload. it's entirely
doable, especially since x86 code is position independent.
