Check in the archives.  I had a similar problem but cannot remember  
how it was solved in the end.  I did post about solving it though,  
based on a comment in another thread that was having a different  
problem.  I am not on amd64 but the issue sounds the same.

btw, you mount the linprocfs in the master, not inside the jail, but  
inside the jails FS.
