Thanks; this image works fine under VirtualBox.

However, my test case for use of $ORIGIN still does not work.

How to reproduce:

$ wget https://haible.de/bruno/gnu/libiconv-20190219.tar.gz
$ tar xfz libiconv-20190219.tar.gz
$ cd libiconv-20190219
$ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/inst1 --enable-relocatable
$ make
$ make install
$ cd /tmp
$ mv inst1 inst2
$ inst2/bin/iconv --help
-bash: inst2/bin/iconv: Permission denied
$ ls -lL inst2/bin/iconv inst2/lib/libiconv.so.2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  108848 Feb 23 20:50 inst2/bin/iconv
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1354728 Feb 23 20:50 inst2/lib/libiconv.so.2
$ readelf -d inst2/bin/iconv

Dynamic section at offset 0x6778 contains 30 entries:
  Tag        Type                         Name/Value

...
$ ld --version
GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.31.1

I am 'root', and the executable as well as the shared library are
executable. Where does the 'Permission denied' error come from?
