Considering that you don't need any Ultrix shared libraries to run
Ultrix programs (since Ultrix didn't *have* shared libraries :-), I
would say "no".
There's no Ultrix code in NetBSD/mips's Ultrix emulation.
I think it'd be very cool to have a little hand-held running
Ultrix programs :-)
COMPAT_SVR4 for NetBSD/mips would be really cool, too. But I think all
those binaries are big-endian :-)
