Gsoc, Emulating missing linux syscalls



	Hi! Sorry for such a late contact, I’ve already written a proper proposal for apply compat_linux project by following the instruction and guidelines from the link given by the NetBSD Gsoc idea list page.I try to answer as much questions as I can in the guidelines page and by follow the questions,i also try and compile the NetBSD kernel and read through the code base that relevant with compat_linux.And I think it’s very weird to apply Gsoc project and submit the proposal without having any contact with the developer/maintainer of the project.So anyways, sorry for dragging this till now.
	As a junior developer I’ve been working on several open source project on GitHub with the git/github pr workflow before,but as I read through the NetBSD contribute guidelines page, it seems the traditional mail list and problem database /problem report is the way to collaborate in NetBSD,so is it a “must do” here to use the cvs/svn version control software and the mail list for contribute here?
	In the compat_linux project page, saying that 
	"you should find at least one Linux binary that does not yet run on NetBSD using compat_linux to use as a test case (your 	mentor may have suggestions)”
	Is there any suggestion on which linux binary isn’t yet supported by compat_linux as a test case?
