If flags comes first, I would rather like to call it execfve(), or perhaps execxve() ("extended") or execove() ("options"). execfve() sounds like it executes a file descriptor (which would probably be called fexecve()).
Perhaps more seriously, if we're adding more functionality already, it should acquire -at functionality (execveat) and take a directory argument.
