Yes.  And also to run it under strace (in permissive mode) and collect
the output to send to me.  However, this looks similar to me to 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=133505, except that
was caused by faulty logic in the mmap/mprotect hooks.  But reading the
comments in that bug report suggests that ld.so is being mapped writable
(in a private mapping) and modified, which would run into this execmod
check.
