Upon thinking more about this; I think this will work. The linux32(1) command will be a little harder to impliment than seperate /compat/linux* (and I'm sure other details will have to be solved); but this does simplify things from a ports application POV. jhb agreed this was probably the better approach so I think this is what we'll do. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
