 Since the Linux(R) binary compatibility layer has gained support for running both 32- and 64-bit Linux(R) binaries (on 64-bit x86 hosts), it is no longer possible to link the emulation functionality statically into a custom kernel.
 
+For some applications, [.filename]#/compat/linux/proc#, [.filename]#/compat/linux/sys#, and [.filename]#/compat/linux/dev/shm# may need to be mounted. Add this line to [.filename]#/etc/fstab#:
+
+....
+linprocfs  /compat/linux/proc     linprocfs   rw            0   0
+linsysfs   /compat/linux/sys      linsysfs    rw            0   0
+tmpfs      /compat/linux/dev/shm  tmpfs       rw,mode=1777  0   0
+....
+
+Then mount the filesystem accordingly:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+# mount /compat/linux/sys
+# mount /compat/linux/proc
+# mount /compat/linux/dev/shm
+----
