   Yuo. Dunno why it is different on this system. This is a secondary   
   subject but I'll have to sort out at some point.

   Indeed, yes.   
      
   I could hexdump, readelf, ldd or even gdb it with no problem.   
      
   I tested all I could and it turned out to be something wrong with LD.   
      
   Linking my executable was done via a call to ld.   
      
   Got a good lecture on the Internet and I finally fiexed my problem by   
   linking it with gcc -no-pie.   
      
   Not sure why I would have needed this but, hey, that worked. I will read   
   about this PIE later.
