I have a cross compiler that specifies a custom loader in its .interp header:
objdump -s beaglebone/x86_64-angstromsdk-linux/usr/bin/armv7a-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-g++ | head
beaglebone/x86_64-angstromsdk-linux/usr/bin/armv7a-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-g++: file format elf64-x86-64
Contents of section .interp:
400200 2f757372 2f6c6f63 616c2f6f 65636f72 /usr/local/oecor
400210 652d7838 365f3634 2f737973 726f6f74 e-x86_64/sysroot
400220 732f7838 365f3634 2d616e67 7374726f s/x86_64-angstro

400250 6f2e3200 o.2.
I want to be able to use this binary without installing it into system locations. Is it possible to override the loader specified in the .interp header and instruct Linux to use the system loader (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2)? Running arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-g++ with /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 manually works to an extent, although it fails to exec support programs.
