That was only true for *statically* linked binaries, and should be
less of a problem now. A heuristic is applied that checks if
the binary is compiled with gcc (true for all Linux binaries, well..
you can't be 100% sure but..). Far from perfect, but it's better.
If you need to be certain that *statically* linked binaries for
COMPAT_SVR4 work (there aren't too many of those around), then
it's a good idea to remove COMPAT_LINUX.
