With TMPDIR on a noexec filesystem and the datafiles on an executable
filesystem, open_exec() rejects this new interpreter with EACCES, causing
subtests 1-4 to report TFAIL despite working binfmt_misc support. The
previous system-cat interpreter did not depend on TMPDIR being executable.
Detect a noexec TMPDIR during setup and report TCONF, or place the wrapper
on an executable filesystem.

The resolved cat pathname is inserted unquoted into shell source: with
cat in a PATH directory containing spaces, the generated exec command
splits the pathname and exits 127 instead of running cat. Generate a
literal exec cat "$1" command instead, letting the shell perform PATH
lookup without reparsing the resolved pathname.

Verdict - Needs revision
