I only see the failure when running virtualbox as non-root.

One more important detail: the failing open of /proc/self/auxv
apparently comes from the following file:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jan 13 06:54 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
gnu/libjpeg.so.8 -> libjpeg.so.8.0.2

I say this for two reasons:
1) Just a few lines before the failing open in my strace, the most recent open 
is of this libjpeg.so library.
2) Scanning -all- the files opened in that strace, the -only- one of them that 
held the string "auxv" was this libjpeg.so library.

Apparently libjpeg-turbo8 (the package that owns this libjpeg.so library
on my Kubuntu 12.04 system)  is opening auxv in order to determine if
some advanced SIMD instructions (MMX, SSE2, NEON) are available, to
accelerate baseline JPEG compression.
