SNIPPED all.
You just need a 'RUN' utility (Just like VAX/VMS). It is the only thing that could fork() and exec..(). This is not Unix, but could be readily encorporated into a system that uses the Linux kernel as a core, but has modified 'C' runtime libraries.
Any/all programs make their system calls through this utility. Foreign programs wouldn't even execute. It's all been done before and it works for good security.
