If I gave you a program /usr/bin/isexec that determines if a file is a
valid executable, i.e.
- ELF binary with ELF header / magic number,
- PE binary with MZ magic number,
- script with shebang line (whether in need of mangling or not),
would that help?

(I.e. something like this POC: https://github.com/ironthree/isexec ?)
