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! -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
