The kernel refers to all of the emulation functions using *_ia32, and the linuxulator uses *_linux(*_linux32 on amd64, which adds to the confusion).The ibcs2-ulator uses *_ibcs2. My vote is for /usr/compat/ia32, but we want to see if there is popular support in even making it into its own subtree. -- Coleman Kane
