MOL can run statically linked ELF-binaries (instead of MacOS). The
selftest program will be started if you do
'startmol --selftest'
or
'startmol --elf=/xxxxx/selftest'
(warning: the exact syntax might be slightly different).
The selftest program currently outputs some performance
information.
The idea is making it simple to verify that the MOL engine
works, independently of the MacOS installation although
the ELF-binary loading code is primarily indented for
the linux kernel.
