It doesn't work at all, because Linux doesn't support NetBSD system
calls. (For example, try to compare /usr/include/sys/syscalls on
NetBSD with /usr/include/asm/unistd.h on Linux. There are lots of
differences in addition to numbering, too.)

On the other hand, NetBSD/i386 does support Linux/i386 system calls,
so it can run Linux native binaries... :)
