I replaced most of the libraries and ld.so stuff in
/emul/linux with newer libraries and structure from a Red Hat 5.1
system, after some testing. It runs all the 'important' Linux binaries
I knew about, including Netscape, xess, tecplot, matlab, maple, and
applix.
The important addition is that NetBSD-Athena systems should
now be able to run Linux programs that are linked against libc6/glibc
(/mit/emacs/arch/i386_linux2/bin/emacs was a good test case).
The old stuff is in /emul/linux-4.2, in case we need to revert
(I wanted a different name than 'linux.old' to prevent confusion with
the previous linux.old directory).
