This is really weird:

[root@musuko:/usr/lib/wp8/wpbin] <09:13:16> 1000  ->> file xwp
xwp: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, dynamically linked
(uses shared libs), stripped
[root@musuko:/usr/lib/wp8/wpbin] <09:13:20> 1001  ->> ls xwp*
xwp       xwpdraw   xwpsahlp  
[root@musuko:/usr/lib/wp8/wpbin] <09:13:20> 1001  ->> ldd xwp
/usr/bin/ldd: ./xwp: No such file or directory

I don't recall if I install the compat-* libs. I'll try that, as Alan Shutko
suggested.
