I found out that Dave is right.  Two things that were missing from my
/usr/gnemul/solaris/usr/lib directory were 'lddstub' and 'ld.so.1'.
Once I copied those files, then I could execute the basic Solaris
'ls' and 'cat' commands direct from zsh in Linux.

I ran Solaris 'ldd' on 'netscape' and '.netscape.bin' and made sure
that I copied all libraries over.  But, as expected, 'netscape' would
not run and I got a bunch of 'unimplemented Solaris syscalls'
messages.  I guess, if I want to run Netscape 4, I should start
looking for the native Ultralinux binaries the FAQ mentions.
