Neither does COMPAT_HPUX... :(

Hmm...SunOS m68k (or sparc) binaries on an i386....umm, nope. :-)
HP-UX, nope.
As for ``what have people used''...On the Sparc I've used COMPAT_SUNOS.
On the sun3 and amiga, COMPAT_SUNOS. On the hp300, COMPAT_44 (the 4.4BSD
xserver for the hp300 doesn't dump core :-), and on the i386,
COMPAT_LINUX (gotta play doom!). I have COMPAT_SVR4 in my PC's kernel,
but I haven't used it get...I gotta dig up a copy of Frame to try...Oh
yeah, COMPAT_NOMID/COMPAT_09/COMPAT_10 for all those old PC binaries I
have 'round...
Oh, almost forgot -- once, long ago, I did have a pmax, and COMPAT_ULTRIX
was handy...oh, and one of these days I'll see if COMPAT_43 makes my old
Utah binaries (for my hp300) work, stuff like `more' and `cat'...
