I'm having a little trouble getting the Linux emulator to do useful
things under 2.1-stable.  It works well for trivial static
executables, but seems unable to cope with shared libraries.  Running
ktrace on a dynamically linked Linux executable shows that the
coredump occurs while attempting to uselib libc.so.4.6.27.

Is it possible my /compat/linux is in some way incomplete?  Perhaps
ld.so is out of date?  Could somebody give me some helpful hints, or
at least a tarfile of their working /compat/linux tree?

Thanks,
  -- Robert
