I finally got some time to test your patch ...

Applied on my Sony VAIO laptop which has Intel CPUs, it make the
compat linux works. While most binaries crashed before, they now seems
to work just fine. Great !

In the mean time, this seems to break 32bit compats. Both netbsd32 and
linux binaries don't go anywhere except in a loop eating all CPU.

Thanks for working on this.
