That's strange.. I did test ls, and it worked for me. How does it fail? 
Can you ktrace it and see what goes on? Maybe it's a 64-bit ino_t issue.

The newer Linux pthread code uses thread system calls introduced after 
Linux 2.4. Some of these are harder to emulate, and have not been 
implemented in COMPAT_LINUX yet.

Using an older libpthread *might* work (i.e. a plain linuxthreads one), 
but I can't be sure. There's probably some interaction with glibc that 
might go wrong.
