Hi,
I found some old answers to a similar quest
The Linux emulation isn't intended to be a complete replacement for
native ABI. It's just a layer that upstream maintains in order to run
a specific set of applications. This layer is severely limited in
other areas and can't be used as a "general ABI for everything" as you
envisioned (that is, u

Dear Petr,
I forgot to mention that I am not on the list, so please CC replies to
me. I noticed Petr Salinger's reply because I was looking through the
mailing list archives.

Interesting, this is where I stopped last time I tried this several
years ago.

I understand that Debian GNU/kFreeBSD currently builds software using
the FreeBSD ABI. It might be easier to make some changes to FreeBSD's

Dear Everyone,
I understand that Debian GNU/kFreeBSD currently builds software using
the FreeBSD ABI. It might be easier to make some changes to FreeBSD's
linux emulation and Debian Linux's packages so that the FreeBSD kernel
could boot a Linux userland using the same binaries used in Debian
Linux
