    No idea. But I thought you said that a huge number of ports works
    on amd64 without the compat layer, and an even larger number works
    *with* it. That looks like a good deal of low hanging fruit.

    But I must admit that I'm not all that interested in linux
    compatibility, perhaps except for the Sun JDK.
