No idea. But I thought you said that a huge number of ports works on amd64 without the compat layer, and an even larger number works *with* it. That looks like a good deal of low hanging fruit. But I must admit that I'm not all that interested in linux compatibility, perhaps except for the Sun JDK. -- How many Vietnam vets does it take to screw in a light bulb? You don't know, man.
