And then there is lina which does 32 bits on 64-bits platforms without
the need for 32-bit libraries.

There is an advantage to linking against the kernel without using

I'm a happy rather than hapless Ubuntu user, using hardly any
application compiled from source. In particular Gforth installs
nicely from the .deb package.
