NetBSD roko.local 11.1 NetBSD 11.1 (KOOROGI) #1: Fri Nov  6 16:08:42 CST 2026  koorogi@roko.local:/home/koorogi/netbsd/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/obj/KOOROGI amd64
>Description:
One of the heuristics used by compat_linux to identify Linux binaries is to check the name of the interpreter.  This check knows the name of the glibc dynamic loader, but not the musl dynamic loader.  Dynamically linked executables using musl are not identified as Linux binaries by compat_linux, and do not run properly.
>How-To-Repeat:
On a Linux distribution that uses musl, compile any C program (e.g. a hello world program).  Copy the musl dynamic linker (/lib/ld-musl-$ARCH.so.1) to /emul/linux/lib, and try to run the binary from NetBSD.
