Thanks, the execve problem appears fixed.

I am a bit stuck with the pwrite problem though, and I've investigated
it a bit more.  This appears to come from the /include/unistd.h file,
where there is a definition for pwrite64

---
extern ssize_t __pwrite64 (int __fd, __const void *__buf, size_t __n,
                           __off64_t __offset);
libc_hidden_proto (__pwrite64)
---

however, __pread64 is not hidden like this.  if you remove the
libc_hidden_proto for pwrite, it still doesn't work but libc has an
undefined reference to __pwrite64 rather than __GI___pwrite64.

My libc.so.6.1 ends up looking like this ...

address@hidden:/usr/src/ianw/libc-obj$ nm libc.so.6.1 | grep pread
000000000018a7b0 T __libc_pread
000000000018a7b0 t __pread
000000000018a7b0 W pread
address@hidden:/usr/src/ianw/libc-obj$ nm libc.so.6.1 | grep pwrite
                 U __GI___pwrite64
000000000018a800 T __libc_pwrite
000000000018a800 t __pwrite
000000000018a800 W pwrite

which has me very confused as to how I can get rid of this symbol.

by the way, i found a minor typo when investigating this.
