I have point. :)

YES! :)

$ cd /bin; ls -ali ping passwd
 5 -r-sr-xr-x   2 root     root          328 Jan 15 21:24 passwd
 5 -r-sr-xr-x   2 root     root          328 Jan 15 21:24 ping

Code:

#include <unistd.h>

void exit(int code) { _exit(code); }
extern char **environ;

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
execve("/bin/busybox", argv, environ);
write(2, "Can`t start busybox!\n", 21);
return 1;
}
