I think some of the local debian kernel patches might be causing this. Also, wrt. freepascal, as I described in my email, the link of that binary is causing the NOP _start function to be set as the entry point. That can't be right, whatever ends up as the entry point should end up calling 'main' so that the program actually runs.
