hi I made a patch which enables linuxator to work without COMPAT_43 option in kernel. Thus we're almost free to remove COMPAT_43 from generic as nothing widespread uses it no more. removing COMPAT_43 has advantage of speeding up the kernel (take a look at gepid() function for example) and removing old code is always good :) the patch itself is a rewrite from old patch from dragonfly (I dont know author so sorry) and it was tested with "chroot /compat/linux /bin/bash; playing" and playing video with realplay - both worked as expected. the test was done on UP/i386 so I'd appreciate some testing on SMP etc. it currently supports just i386 but porting it to other archs should be quite easy thnx for suggestions, comments etc roman p.s. pls CC: me as I am not subscribed to emulation@freebsd.org
