[OE-core] Problems with Pseudo

[Mark Hatle]

The usual cause of this error is either a system level protection, i.e. 
grsecurity, app armor, or selinux policy that prevents preload libraries from 
being loaded.

The other option is something is set "setuid" and that also prevents LD_PRELOAD 
libraries from loading for security reasons.

Finally, you can get this message if you are on a mixed-mode (multilib) host. 
I.e. you have executables that are both ELF 32 and ELF64.  If so, you need to 
configure the system to build pseudo with both target environments, otherwise 
only one version is generated and you'll get an error when the "other" type is 
being executed.

Strangely enough, if I run pseudo (the one built in the i686-linux sysroot) manually from the command line, it works just fine. I tried blowing away my build directory and downloads but nothing seems to work. Has anyone seen this before or might be able to help me track down what's going on?
