How does one setup a -current system with LINUX emulation?

I'd like to give Wingz a try.

I've:

     compiled a kernel with COMPAT_LINUX and the SHM stuff.
     modload -e linux_init /lkm/linux_mod.o
     got ld.so from a linux distribution and put in in /lib
     Installed Wingz

Wingz reports
/usr/local/Wingz/bin/Wingz: can't load dynamic linker '/lib/ld.so'   

while running /lib/ld.so directly generates:

easysc# /lib/ld.so
zsh: exec format error: ./ld.so   

modstat reports
Type     Id Off Loadaddr Size Info     Rev Module Name
EXEC      0   3 f087c000 0018 f0881000   1 linux_emulator                 

Thanks for your help.
