N.B. The <code>linux-gate.so.1</code> library is a so-called hack to support a certain way of doing system calls on the X86 architecture, and is not always present on newer systems.

When comparing the version of libc used on the real system with <code>ls -l</code>, it will probably show a difference (in version numbers). This means that the executables that were built inside Scratchbox use libraries that are also inside Scratchbox. This also means we have a stable development platform, which is very important, especially when working on a team where each member has their own Linux installation which they may or may not have customized. This might not seem very important at this stage, but when encountering all the different tools that are used in free software development, this feature of Scratchbox will come in handy.

Scratchbox does not contain any logic to emulate the kernel (or to use a different kernel for running programs inside Scratchbox). The only easy possibility for this is using the sbrsh CPU-transparency option.
