Well, some time ago, I had to update parts ... but never really finished. To 
build it, just start with a chroot tarball of smgl and cast stuff inside the 
chroot. Actually, I'm using a full chroot environment as ersatz-emul32. For 
some stuff, I have to actually enter the chroot (playing some game with 
wine...), other stuff can just use the /lib and /usr/lib from the chroot in 
the host system... just add the directories to /etc/ld.so.conf .

As I understand it, smgl-emul32 just packaged the library files out of such a 
chroot. Oh, right, and it's important to add this link (well, smgl-emul32's 
INSTALL does that):

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 17. Apr 13:25 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 -> 
/opt/emul32/lib/ld-linux.so.2

You can run 32 bit stuff directly from the host system, but usually I prefer 
entering the chroot (in a script), and perhaps a separate X server, to 
prevent things from messing up (games with wine like to do that).


Alrighty then,

Thomas.

PS: Yes, I see how nicely this thread ties in with dkowis' fundamental 
discussion.
