That's fine Martin. We can do it that way.

Do you really need to #include <sys/syscall.h>?
As far as I can see clone() only requires <sched.h>

When you allocate the clone stack for the child
the memory is byte aligned. Is this ok for Linux or should stacks
be aligned on larger boundaries?

Also, I don't follow why we need the  execve_as_traditional_shell_script()
function. Can you explain the reason for that?

Thanks,
Michael.
