I have an unfinished linux_devtools-7.1 here:
http://www.xcllnt.net/~marcel/linux_devtools-7.tar.gz
It installs, but the package list is bogus. It will not deinstall
cleanly.

It interferes. Rename /compat/linux to /compat/linux-6.1 before you
install 7.1

Yes, but this was during the 3.x/4.x days. I don't have an SMP box
for which linux emulation is ported anymore (ie alpha and i386). I
don't see why it shouldn't just work (modulo bugs of course).
