Hi,

Executing a recent runtime linker from Debian on a stable NetBSD
(1.6.2_RC2) i386 system fails:

$ ktrace /emul/linux/lib/ld-2.3.2.so 
Bad system call (core dumped)
$ kdump 
   720 ktrace   EMUL  "netbsd"
   720 ktrace   CALL  execve(0xbfbfd7c7,0xbfbfd71c,0xbfbfd724)
   720 ktrace   NAMI  "/emul/linux/lib/ld-2.3.2.so"
   720 ld-2.3.2.so EMUL  "svr4"
[...]

And after removing SVR4 compatibility from the kernel:

$ ktrace /emul/linux/lib/ld-2.3.2.so; kdump 
Bad system call (core dumped)
   474 ktrace   EMUL  "netbsd"
   474 ktrace   CALL  execve(0xbfbfd80a,0xbfbfd754,0xbfbfd75c)
   474 ktrace   NAMI  "/emul/linux/lib/ld-2.3.2.so"
   474 ld-2.3.2.so EMUL  "netbsd"
[...]

What's wrong with Linux emulation?

BTW, executing the linker from pkgsrc/emulators/suse_base works fine...


Help is appreciated,

Jukka
