2.2 supported ELF quite some time before 2.2-stable was branched, for
almost as long as ELF binaries were supported under Linux emulation...
Native ELF support was added nearly for free.
The main thing that'll break is that 3.x kernels and libraries have
syscalls that do not exist in 2.x and you'll get SIGSYS's etc.
