Good point, thanks.

Could we change this to ENOSYS (no minus) and also change
the execveat_() function similarly, so that a binary built where
__NR_execveat is available but running where it isn't also exits
early? (My bad for having the minus sign in execveat_() in the
first place -- fingers too used to kernel mode.)

Thanks!
