I am not sure what would actually happen in the following case.
Create a jail and make it "pure Linux".  That is, install only Linux binaries
there, no FreeBSD at all.  And install them under the root of the jail, that is,
no /compat/linux within the jail.
Would that work?
Would I be able to start such a jail (processes in it) ?
Would they be able to correctly find their libraries and other executables they
might want to exec?

If this works or could be made to work, then I am sure that some people would it
useful.
