You've been using Slackware bits, but the project has settled on Red Hat
bits for 32-bit x86 Linux support.  Can you retest with the same 32-bit
bits as in ports/emulators/linux_base/?

I feel we should install your bits into sys/amd64/linux32/ and leave
sys/amd64/linux/ for the 64-bit Linux compat bits.  This module's
Makefile should live in sys/modules/linux32/ also.

thanks for this great work!
