OK. I give up. How?
Generally, the C compiler generates code that's quite distinctive (at least PCC does, not sure about Dennis' compiler). People writing free assembler tend to do really weird things for function entry / return.
And it will likely tell you if it's some weird wrapper around another binary, though that wasn't too common at bell labs.
