64-bit Linux binary compatibility/emulation

[William A. Mahaffey III]

The FreeBSD wiki for the docker package contains intriguing allusions to 
a '64 bit Linux compatibility layer', although the handbook still says 
its a nogo. I notice the following when trying to execute a program 
compiled under FC14 x86_64 a while back:

i.e. the file type is recognized, a runtime loader seems to be present, 
yet the file fails to execute. The FreeBSD version runs AOK & produces 
identical output to that from the Linux executable run under linux a 
while back. How is progress on 64-bit Linux binary 
compatibility/emulation ? TIA & have a nice labor day.
