Loadable modules work great now too, so there is no reason > they couldn't be built as modules I should think. [...] The only reason these can't be built usefully as modules on amd64 is that Linux emulation depends on COMPAT_43, which is not enabled in GENERIC (and shouldn't be). There's work underway to decouple COMPAT_LINUX from COMPAT_43, and when that's done, the Linux modules will work fine. Tim
