According to compat_linux, that's how it should work. The same manpage also
says that if you ask for a file /path/to/file, the emulation first
tried to open /emul/linux/path/to/file, then falls back to /path/to/file,
so symlinks shouldn't be needed.

Or that's my understanding of:

" This directory is named /emul/linux. Any file operations done by Linux
programs run under NetBSD will look in this directory first. So, if a Linux
program opens, for example, /etc/passwd, NetBSD will first try to open
/emul/linux/etc/passwd, and if that does not exist open the 'real'
/etc/passwd file."
