I don't think it is. The whole point of O_EXEC is to support fexecve.

Fortunately enough the kernel implementation is trivial. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
