Recently, Wayne Pascoe <wayne.pascoe@realtime.co.uk> (Message-Id:
<86u20imt0t.fsf@pan.ehsrealtime.com>) asked a question about launching
Netscape from Gnome and having problems with xalf.  Joe Clarke
<marcus@marcuscom.com> (Message-Id:
<20010712103231.A22271-100000@shumai.marcuscom.com>) suggested
recompiling xalf.  Unfortunately, the problem is that you cannot mix
emulation libraries with native objects and vice versa.  What is
happening here is that Gnome is trying to attach xalf dynamically to the
executable being started, but since you are trying to start the linux
netscape, the native xalf cannot attach to the linux binary.

Does a linux emulation xalf exist?  Or, how can you mix and match
emulation styles?  Does brandelf solve this problem?
