Description of problem:
An ia32 binary for the following tiny program fails when
run on a ia64 system running RH EL AS 3.0

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
main()
{
   printf("system(date) retuned = %d\n", system("date"));
}

Created the binary on RH8.0 and used it on ia64 box running AS 3.0.

Note: It works fine on ia64 running RH AS 2.1.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.4.21-4.EL; 

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create the tiny test file mentioned above on a RH8.0 or RH EL AS 3.0
  running in x86 bix; Compile it
2.Bring the above ia32 binary to ia64 box running EL AS 3.0
3.Execute the above ia32 binary on ia64 box.
    

Actual Results:  Output from above test :
   system(date) returned = -1

Expected Results:  The above program should display the current 
date/time (output of
date command) and the following line
   system(date) returned = 0
