It's hard to say. It seems like you did everything right. I assume that if
you run "pxz --version" on the host it works properly - prints a version
number and exits - right?
During the "hang", does OSv do some busy loop ("top" will show you the OSv
vm taking 100% CPU) or waits for something?

One thing you can do to figure out what is going on is to attach gdb to the
running VM, and inquire from it what threads are running, and what they are
waiting for.
It's not trivial to do, but not particular difficult either, and explained
well (I hope) here:
https://github.com/cloudius-systems/osv/wiki/Debugging-OSv#debugging-osv-with-gdb
Note that you don't need to rebuild OSv specially for debugging to debug it
this way.

This is a _SC_ARG_MAX parameter to sysconf(), it is indeed not implemented
(and can be trivially implemented) but I doubt that this is the problem
causing the hang (I also wonder why this program would need to check
_SC_ARG_MAX if it's just planning to print the version number, not exec()
anything - you can look at this software's source code to see what it does
with _SC_ARG_MAX.
