% cat exec.c

#include <unistd.h>
#include <paths.h>

int main(int argc, char *const argv[], char *const envp[]) {
  char *execargv[2];

  execargv[0] = (char *)_PATH_BSHELL;
  execargv[1] = (char *)NULL;

  execve(_PATH_BSHELL,execargv,envp);

  return 0;
}
% cc -Wwrite-strings exec.c
% cc -Wall exec.c

Looks good to me.
