It is quite hopless, since the em86 binary (from Digital) does not work
with glibc version greater than 2.0. It needs some major hacking and there
does not seem to be enough incentive around to do this if my understanding
is correct.

The last notes I found about work on em86 was there (support for 2.2
kernels, attempt to make it work with glibc 2.1 ...):

Correct me if I am wrong.
