There is no COMPAT_FREEBSD man page so what are the issues involved in
running freebsd binaries under netbsd?  The general problem I've had 
involves (no surprise here) dynamic libraries and the desire of freebsd
binaries to look for and try to load the netbsd libraries.

Is there a foolproof way, given a whole set of freebsd libs, to get
netbsd to run dynamic freebsd binaries?  How about the other way round?
/emul/NetBSD under freebsd?
