As a data point, this works for me on NetBSD-5.99.11/amd64.

I spoke with manu%netbsd.org@localhost, who wrote the LINUX_COMPAT/amd64,
and he said that I should use emul.linux.kern.osrelease = 2.6.11 or
later for Linux/amd64 libc to load.
(btw. I can't find that documented either...)

So I gave that a try as well...

# sysctl -w emul.linux.kern.osrelease=2.6.11
emul.linux.kern.osrelease: 2.4.18 -> 2.6.11

# chroot /emul/linux /bin/bash
[1] Segmentation fault (core dumped) chroot /emul/linux /bin/bash

And that seemed to perform even worse...

Works for me as well.
