+static inline bool no_tab_or_space(const char *first, const char *last)
+{
+        // Skip leading space
+        for (;tabspc(*first) ; first++)
+            if (!*first || first == last)
+                return false; // only space

The !*first will never hit here (since it's been checked to be either
' ' or '\t', and if first == last it's whitespace all the way, so we
could just return true here to bail out early (there's no interpreter
at all, so we want to -ENOEXEC still).

I'll get a version written and tested...
