This is a good question. I don't want to bend over backwards for what
could be our all-time least-popular emulation (okay, maybe COMPAT_HPUX
is worse). Has anyone even *used* iBCS2 emulation in the last few
years? I have no idea where I would get binaries to test if I was in
the process of making changes that affect it...
