Quoting Nathan Whitehorn <nwhitehorn@freebsd.org> (from Fri, 12 Mar 2010 08:19:00 -0600): > This name was picked for the following reasons, after discussion > with several others: it is analogous to the existing COMPAT_LINUX32, > the Datapoint: COMPAT_LINUX is native (64bit on 64bit arch, 32bit on 32bit arch) emulation COMPAT_LINUX32 is 32bit on 64bit arch emulation (useless on 32bit arch) There is no COMAPT_LINUXxyz with xyz being a specific linux version, the linux version to emulate is chosen by a sysctl (run time switch possible if no linux program is running). As such the COMPAT_LINUXyy is conceptionally different from what we have with COMPAT_FREEBSDy (compatibility stuff for FreeBSD version y). I think this is the base of the complains we see here.
