Hello,

Could you explain to me why Linux executables are of brand "Linux" and Linux 
libraries "SVR4" ?

$ brandelf /compat/linux/bin/ls
File '/compat/linux/bin/ls' is of brand 'Linux' (3).

$ brandelf /compat/linux/lib/libc-2.3.2.so
File '/compat/linux/lib/libc-2.3.2.so' is of brand 'SVR4' (0).

May it is a stupid question! Thanks.
