I'm working on it. I already requested 2 pullups for netbsd-4 for your
PR.

For the statfs port, it is not as simple as it looks; but not too
complicated. The main problem is that `struct statfs' have different
sizes between compat linux and linux32 ... We can then share the
bsd_to_linux_statfs() source code, but not the compiled form. I'll
plan to move the function from linux_misc.c to linux_misc.h for easier
integration in compat linux32.
I just need a little more time ;-)

I have the fix in my tree. To be sure, i'm stressing it ... will then
commit.
