XPSemu PPSA97358 imports both from libkernel.prx; with the imports ahead
of them covered, its predicted next stops (relink registry order, not an
observed run) are:
FAIL: unresolved ELF import KaK52lYTBIs from libkernel.prx (execv, 7 call sites)
FAIL: unresolved ELF import kdguLiAheLI from libkernel.prx (execve, 4 call sites)
Today the title stops earlier at the observed
FAIL: unresolved ELF import aRo9AhFUXcM from libkernel.prx (sigsetjmp, merged in #3486)
As for execvp (#2827), the process image cannot be replaced here, so both
throw with the execvp message pattern once FreeBSD 11's execve would start
loading the image (freebsd-src 8c639945, sys/kern/kern_exec.c
exec_copyin_args, do_execve, exec_check_permissions; lib/libc/gen/exec.c
execv passes environ). Before that they fail as FreeBSD does: EFAULT for a
null argument vector or path, ENOENT and ENOTDIR from the lookup as stat
reports it, EACCES for a path that is not a regular file. Paths of
PATH_MAX bytes or more and strings over ARG_MAX throw instead of guessing
the console's limits. The execv calls in XPSemu's sources run in a fork
child (net/tap.c), and its fork fails with ENOSYS (ZiZc3/XPSemu 8eec07b4,
ps5/compat/libc_missing.c, ps5/build-title.sh --defsym).
NIDs computed with tools/nid_names.py and confirmed in aerolib.

VLC (PPSA85300) imports execvp (0NJDcQ2B8vE) from libkernel and fails
to load because no library exports it. Replacing the process image is
not supported, so it throws if called, like sceSystemServiceLoadExec
does for executable replacement. VLC itself cannot reach the call: its
fork and vfork fail with ENOSYS, so the child that would call execvp is
never created.
