That linux-gate.so is a "virtual DSO", so there is no corresponding
file (see [1] for a concise explanation of what this is about).
IOW, that should be fine -- though I'd be marginally worried about it
being mapped to 0x00000000 (I'm not entirely sure how that's supposed
to behave in a mixed arch environment...  Anyone else knows?)

Well, we'll know if that's ok, once that libXcursor thing is resolved...
(Would be kind of a pity, though, if that turned out to be the final
show stopper :)

Have you run ldconfig(8) to update the ld.so.cache?
(/etc/ld.so.conf should already contain the dirs /emul/ia32-linux/lib,
/emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib and /emul/ia32-linux/usr/X11R6/lib)

If all else fails, you could also try to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point
to /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib -- see ld.so(8).

Good luck (actually, I think you're almost there...),
