LSB runtime compliance?

[Geoff Buckingham]

Would it be reasonable and desirable to have compat linux envronment that
conforms to the requiremnts of the Linux Standards Base runtime environment?

The benefit of this realy depends on software vendors releaseing for LSB 
runtimes.

Certification is not cheap, but not prohibitavley expensive, at this point I
am wondering if their are any known technical obsticles?

I had a quick look at this and the first obsticle is that you really need to 
have an RPM suite installed within your compat linux environment.

After that problems were mainley around paths. Is it possible to force linux
binaries to only look for files under /compat/linux ?
