WRT: execve flag

[rdebath]

Commit 8952fce8 "linux-user: add option to intercept execve() syscalls" adds the ability to specify that only this copy of the QEMU executable will be used for execve.

It has some issues:

• It doesn't pass on the option to exec'd programs.
• If you just set the environment variable (and use binfmt misc) it fails with a very weird error.
• It can't run SUID executables.

I'm using this patch to work around some of this buy simply putting the path to the exe in the variable, however, it's not complete as I have to turn it off for SUID executables.

There are several ways this could be worked (all the way up to fakeroot/fakechroot support) but as I have solved my immediate problem (Which was to prevent x86 static executables running) it seemed best to just report this.
