Bash Version: 4.2
Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release

Description:
    If you run a 64-bit executable on a 32-bit system via bash (which 
can happen by accident), it gives an "bash: ./fwupd: cannot execute 
binary file" error message. What seems to happen is that the execve() 
function in execute_cmd.c returns 8, and in this case bash only tests if 
the file is a script or binary. An ENOEXEC-like message of "An 
executable is not in a recognized format, or is for the wrong 
architecture" or at least the ENOEXEC string would be more helpful in 
determining the cause of the problem.

But, as I say, this is only a minor problem.
