Re: [9fans] another type of static linking: send all the shared libraries with the program!

["Federico G. Benavento" <benavento@gmail.com>]

cinap did years ago for linux emu

http://9hal.ath.cx/usr/cinap_lenrek/lbun/mklbun

which packages linuxemu, the linux exec you want and the
required libs all in an rc bundle that you can execute
as a regular program

in:
http://9hal.ath.cx/magic/webls?dir=/usr/cinap_lenrek/lbun

you have lbuns for svn, bash and others that just work on Plan 9
