Status 129 or something else outside the usual range, plus a message that the file was not a valid ELF and also has no shebang, therefore cannot be executed.

I always thought that 128+ are for (shell-spawned) processes and 0-127 are for shell. But, apparently POSIX requires this behavior for empty files - we need to amend the standard, first (or fail to comply, muahahaha).
