Description:
NetBSD has long had support for
running Linux binaries via its kernel-level compat_linux feature, but test coverage for it was less complete than some might
hope. In order to provide better testing for compat_linux ,
Google Summer of Code (GSoC) participant Henrique Brito opted to work
on enabling the Linux Test
Project (LTP) test suite to compile and run on NetBSD. At EuroBSDCon2026 , Brito's
mentor, Stephen Borrill, provided a report on the project, and the
status of LTP on NetBSD. The work has already resulted in some minor
fixes, and a good list of additional problems to solve.
