Yes.

Well, when they access some file, a path with /compat/linux prepended is
tried first. Only when there's nothing, the original path is tried.
That's it in a nutshell, the exact rules are a bit more complicated.

No.

This works perfectly fine when used from within a Linux shell. Example
from testing my new userland:

| [00:00:20] Entering interactive test mode. Type 'exit' when done.
| root@14a-default:~ # /compat/linux/bin/bash
| bash-5.2# ldd /bin/bash
|         linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fffffffe000)
|         libreadline.so.8 => /usr/lib64/libreadline.so.8 (0x0000000801154000)
|         libhistory.so.8 => /usr/lib64/libhistory.so.8 (0x00000008011ad000)
|         libncursesw.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libncursesw.so.6 (0x00000008011bb000)
|         libc.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libc.so.6 (0x0000000801400000)
|         /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000000001021000)
| bash-5.2# 

Cheers, Felix
