Could you try running the statically-linked bash from
=E2=80=98static-binaries.tar.xz=E2=80=99 and see if the same error occurs? =
 Perhaps
strace it so we can see where that error comes from.

Looking at
<http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/gdb/syscalls/?cvsroot=3Dsrc>,
syscalls have different numbers in n64 vs. n32.  So I suppose the kernel
needs to be compiled to support the n64 ABI?
