    Even on similar systems, the details of implementing a compatibility layer can be quite intricate and troublesome; a good example is the IRIX binary compatibility layer in the MIPS architecture version of NetBSD. [25] A compatibility layer requires the host system's CPU to be (upwardly) compatible to that of the foreign
