Hello,

is it planned to have either 32-bit and/or 64-bit Linux Emulation
available for AMD64 in the near future?

And if so, what is the current status?

As a side note, if or when can one use cvsup on 5.2 for AMD64?
(eg via "pkg_add" or "make package)

I'm especially interested in testing some 32- and/or 64-bit
applications like oracle on a dual opteron system, which still
do require a corresponding linux beneath.

Regards,
Holger Kipp

PS: Sorry if this is a faq.
