'exec', when available, is normally better as it gives one a chance
to pass command lines to the Linux kernel, gives the kernel information
about the platform, etc. Also, on many pieces of hardware (most ARM
platforms), the memory map used by eCos is not physical 1-1 and this
can give grief to the Linux kernel during it's bootstrap process.
