 |Sooo...not too long ago I downloaded the latest greatest linux_lib
 |distribution, and ... it's quite a bit bigger than it used to be.  Now I
 |knew this was going to happen, but that leads another question...My root
 |partition (where /compat lives) isn't really big enough to sport
 |linux_lib.  Is there any compelling reason I have to have the /compat
 |directory in my root partition, or can I make it a link to someplace with
 |a mite more space?

No problem with that at all.  I've had bunches of Linux bins running on my
box and:

stealth : ~ > ls -ld /compat
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  13 Dec 14 09:41 /compat@ -> /share/compat
