I use linux, linux32 and netbsd32 to run fairly big applications that I think test out a good spread of features. The Xilinx FPGA tools make use of compat_linux and compat_linux32. I have an uncommitted patch to procfs to make the latest version work. I regularly run CMUCL on amd64 using compat_netbsd32.
