The Linux we really should base this on is SUSE Linux 9.0. Fedora c2 if we really have to. There really aren't many programs that are AMD64 Linux that utilize the extra functionality of 64-bit'ness. So I think we've some breathing room here until the need for AMD64 Linux compat becomes pressing.
Just to get this straight: does that mean that "we" (that's you, David, along with Peter) have chosen to do linux i386 32-bit ABI emulation first and to wait-and-see for the amd64 (x86_64 in linuxland) ABI emulation? Is there any hope of it being there "soon"?
