The linuxulator has never been able to run 64bit linux binaries.

Most linux bins will work even if they have been compiled against a newer
kernel.  Only bins that utilize newer syscalls wouldn't work usually.

The handbook contains the information that is needed to use as is, although
I'm sure further dev on the linuxulator would be appreciated too.
