Following the patches done for elfload32, it appeared to me that there were still problems that would prevent 32 bits executables to run on 64 bits target in linux user mode emulation.

In the end you will need to write a 64 bit to 32 bit linux syscall converter which would mean duplicating all the linux-user code of the corresponding 32 bit target (think of ioctls with strutures, signals frames, etc...).
