I do not know for others but it is entirely unclear to me based on your message if the above unnamed Linux binaries where compiled on 2.6 or 2.4 Linux kernel. OpenBSD emulation supports only binaries compiled on 2.4 kernel on Fedora compatible systems. In particular those binaries MUST use only static Linux libraries.

My hunch although never tried running anything but Opera which is in ports is that effectively means that you could get binaries for any Read Hat based distribution and run it (Rad Hat, Fedora, Cent OS) excluding any programs which involve Linux drivers of any kind, ALSA, and dynamic libraries as well as Linux specific system calls .

You already got some very good advices about system calls in above messages.
