Please ask emulation-related questions on the -emulation list (moved
there).

LD_PRELOAD is handled by the dynamic linker. If the Linux linker
doesn't handle it, then you lose.

The current linux_lib port is a bit woefully old. We support glibc
binaries, but you need a new set of libs. It's hard to work out which
ones we should have, and harder still because there's no real "owner"
of our Linux emulation at this point in time.
