 FWIW, you shouldn't ever have to extract things into /emul/netbsd32
 anymore.  if you find issues that require it, please file PRs about
 them.  eg, binaries should work in any location.
 
 the problem with your patch is that invades the main kernel with 
 comaptibility code that currently mostly works as a module.  it 
 really would be best to do this in compat/netbsd32 sources.
 
 thanks.
