>Description:
	ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/i386/HOWTO.linuxemul says:

	The NetBSD project does not distribute Linux libraries for i386 Linux
	emulation at this time.

	However, a set of reasonable Linux libraries suitable for populating a
	/emul/linux directory tree may be found at:

	ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/linux_lib-2.4.tar.gz

	see the compat_linux(8) man page for details on using the NetBSD/i386
	Linux emulation system.

	We now have such things under
	ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/emulators
>How-To-Repeat:
	Attempt to setup Linux emulation and happen across
	ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/i386/HOWTO.linuxemul and
	blindly follow it.

>Fix:
	Bring ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/i386/HOWTO.linuxemul
	uptodate so it agree with reailty and advertises the goodies
	in ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/emulators.

	Or simply remove //ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/i386/HOWTO.linuxemul
	all together...
