No, no, i only liked the libc to be unbound to paths. I was aware that                                                                                          
the loader is fixed or it would be kernel code needed to be changed for                                                                                         
supporting unfixed loaders.

Well, if i had the time and the clue for it, i'd develop a hash-bang-based                                                                                      
loader, which probably would make binaries basically loadable by almost                                                                                         
every Unix system, afais. But that seems to much work for it now! ;)
