Eliot is guilty for picking the name, I thnk it's short for intel  
architecture 32 bit call interface.

For diagnostic interpretation the 'tryLoading' line prints the path  
were it tries to load the module.
Since it's found we don't bother looking in the dozen or so other  
places it could be.
If there was a loader error then it would have printed the error code  
and any error string from the unix dynamic loader api.
The ioFindExternalFunctionIn shows that we asked to resolve the name  
'getModuleName' in the binary to get an entry point address.
