swi-prolog works as a command-line version. You need to have X11 libraries around, but it's perfectly happy running from the command-line, without any X server around. > Thanks for the tip.

This is a major concern. This means it won't work reliably... sometimes, your binary will get loaded at an address which interferes with your static mmap'ed image, and it will just fail, and you will have to restart the prolog interpreter for it to work, eventually... with a big enough image, it's likely it will get really hard to make things work...
