Now if I've understood a lot of things correctly binary compatibility
means that the kernel knows how different other types of kernels
(within the same OS but different versions or completelety other OSs)
mark their executables and how they are to be run. It doesn't mean
that the kernel would translate machine language meant for another
processor.

This raises a question in me tho. Is the (new?) Linux compatibility code
Only for PC Clones or does it work on Amigas too?
