Yes, this is not right solution. I definitely don't want linux Netscape
to say it's running on Linux.
This should be per-application hack, not a generally deployed solution.

Between other things, glibc/linuxthreads uses realtime signals for kernel
version >= 2.1.70 (see sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/testrtsig.h). As a matter of
fact, NetBSD Linux emulation doesn't support realtime signals yet.
