I've been working on Linux/i386 compatibility for the last day or two, and may
eventually get around to doing Linux/amd64 if there is enough interest.
I'm at the stage now where I can run many moderately-complex programs,
including most of GNU coreutils from Slackware -current.

Behold:
$ uname -srm
FreeBSD 5.2-tjr amd64
$ file /compat/linux/bin/echo
/compat/linux/bin/echo: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.0.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
$ /compat/linux/bin/uname -srm
Linux 2.4.2 amd64
$ /compat/linux/bin/echo hello from amd64
hello from amd64

I may post patches for testing in a week or so.
