What binaries will PA-RISC Linux support?

We currently only support 32-bit ELF executables. Initial bringup work was accomplished using HP-UX emulation, but that emulation has not been maintained. Eventually, we hope to have support for HP-UX 32-bit SOM executables working again, and add support for 64-bit ELF executables, both Linux & HP-UX. We’re not promising to get all HP-UX binaries running on Linux. In particular those which are multithreaded are unlikely to ever be supported.
