Sounds useful to me.

And it reminds me of something:
This afternoon I was fiddling with jCVS, a Java CVS client, on NetBSD/i386
1.2.1 with the L*nux JDK 1.1.3 port. I tried to check out a source tree to
/tmp and, although jCVS reported success, not a single file got there.
A find(1) showed that the tree went to /usr/emul/linux/tmp instead. Do
emulated binaries actually run chrooted to '/usr/emul/linux' ? Any
workarounds?
