It does, though I'm not sure if this is to support crossing mount points,
dropping privileges, or something else, since it does fall back to just
trying to open the file.
execfd = qemu_getauxval(AT_EXECFD);
if (execfd == 0) {
execfd = open(filename, O_RDONLY);
if (execfd < 0) {
printf("Error while loading %s: %s\n", filename, strerror(errno));
_exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
}
