I've seen recent discussions about the nature of linux emulation and how the emulation looks for libraries under /compat/linux/usr/lib before checking in theusual places, like /usr/local/lib. I have several questions and thoughts relating to this and linux ports. 1) Does the emulator also look for include files under /compat/linux? 2) Many linux ports do not place their files under /compat/linux. linux-netscape is one example. Is that "proper"? 3) I created a port not long ago from a linux binary that also did not place any files under /compat/linux. However, I've tried putting the libraries and includes there and it still works. I assume it would be a good idea to change the port so that they go there. 4) How far should one go in putting files under /compat/linux? Obviously it would be impractical to put *everything* there, such as executables, since for good reasons /compat/linux/usr/bin (for example) is not generally put in the search path.
