Expected behavior

$ jsc
>>>

Actual behavior

$ jsc
-bash: /usr/bin/jsc: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

btw seems to work fine in WSL 2

also

$ ls -l /usr/bin/jsc
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 239984 Jul 31 17:23 /usr/bin/jsc
$ LD_DEBUG=all jsc
-bash: /usr/bin/jsc: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

however this works!

$ /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /usr/bin/jsc
