We're going to have to bite the bullet and implement the full 2.6 
syscall set.. that also probably included emulating nptl, which is 
replacing linuxthreads. It'll be a bit of a pain, but it can be done.

I had to use the 2.6.x setting with sysctl to run some newer binaries, 
and most non-threaded Linux binaries now work for me.
