    I have checked in this method now.  I actually have an unexelf.c that 
    works
    with exec-shield on now, but I have only tested it on Fedora Core 2.  It
    is probably too risky to check it in this close to a release.

I think we can.  It should get enough testing.  It's not as if there
were a dozen completely different systems that this had to support.
There is only one, with just a few variants that might raise this case.
