There are a great many other binaries out there which are slowly moving 
towards a lack of backwards compatibility with, for example, the 
libstdc++ which is available in our SuSE emulation versus that 
available in the most recent copies of Linux distributions.

So, not only Java and Mozilla and what-not, but other as well.

Note that I'm not complaining in the slightest about the current state 
of our Linux emulation--I love NetBSD. I'm just documenting the 
declining ability to emulate Linux bins. :)
