No, case 2 and 4 are unexpected failures, the rest is as expected. Fix case 2 
and you'll probably get #4 fixed.

Ok, it works...

This is interesting - have you tried if disabling exec-shield on the host (can 
be done via /proc/sys/<something>) makes any difference? There was a problem 
some time ago about this, it should be fixed but I'm not that sure.

You have not compiled SMP mode in, I hope? That's not very used at the moment 
so it could have problems...

For both cases: have you tried running a different filesystem? I.e. not FC4? 
I've just seen you worked around the NPTL issue, but still something may be 
wrong.

Exactly...

Not supported.

Should work (after solving the issue of case 2), which probably happens there 
as well) but you'll need a pure 64-bits root_fs, because UML doesn't yet 
support 32-bit emulation for guest binaries.
