I have trouble believing that achieving that result (using linux
web-browser plugins with natively compiled NetBSD browsers) will be
anywhere near as simple as merely teaching ld.so to load linux shared
object files.

How, for example, do you intend to solve the problem that many functions
in the C library in Linux have the same name, but different signatures
than their NetBSD counterparts?
