To me, it is also a question of making sure that, if we're going to
   bother going through the trouble of making sure linux code will run
   emulated, we should make sure it will run natively compiled as well so
   we can be API compatible. We have clone(2) for much that reason too,
   and it initially appeared as something in the linux compat code.


i'm pretty hesitant to include someething that no one is actually
asking for.  people were asking for clone().
