I'll have to research this more... One of the requirment is to run under 
NS-3 network simulator's DCE (direct code execution), a framework that 
provides a environment to run native applications inside the simulator. 
So, the environment is not a real Linux, but a cutdown look-a-like [1]. 
It's not clear to me that Alien can work there.

Thanks for the idea,

Jorge
