You mean they don't support Linux ELF? Because NetBSD sure does support
running Linux ELF binaries, and has for a while now. If SCO uses ELF too
now (do they?) then it should be a small patch to make that work. If those
binaries would be different from SVR4 that is, otherwise no changes at
all would have to be made.. Although SVR4 != SVR4 in some cases,
unfortunately.
