I am not sure if there are many popular ones missing. The way to find out is to install the latest NetBSD version (10 or current) and then install a very recent compat linux package (from pkgsrc, perhaps even getting a newer one to work that is there already) and see how many binaries work, and from the ones that fail, which system calls they need. Best, christos
