I have a game (SimCity 3000) that I brushed off the dust and wanted to 
try out in Gentoo. It doesn't like it. I applied the loki updates (which 
was interesting in and of itself.. loki was using some depreciated 
options of tail).

According to google, the game is supposed to run with:

LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.4 sc3u

However, I get an error about unable to load libdl.so.2. However, I get 
the same error when I do:

LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.4 ldd ./games/bin/sc3u

ldd should be able to run, however it won't. Same thing with any 
command. I've tried various values, such as 2.2.5, 2.4.1, 2.4.10, 2.5.1, 
and 2.6.*. If I choose 2.6.*, then everything works like it should.

I made sure I had all the "compat" libraries installed that seemed 
appropriate. esearch compat, showed me what I could install.

After more googling, I've learned that some people are getting 
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL to work, however I believe they are running 2.4 
kernels. I also found this mail archive:

http://www.mail-archive.com/gentoo-dev@gentoo.org/msg00492.html

That post was a year ago. Is there any work being done on this? Is it 
finished? in testing?

Is this a 2.6 thing or an NPTL thing?

I don't really like using my FC box anymore, but it seems I'll have to 
keep it around in order to handle situations such as this.

Suggestions or answers?
