 * Description:
 *   Given the header from a possible ELF executable, verify that it

 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   0 (OK) is returned on success and a negated errno is returned on
 *   failure.
 *
 *   -ENOEXEC  : Not an ELF file
 *   -EINVAL : Not a relocatable ELF file or not supported by the current,
 *               configured architecture.
