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.
