Linux doesn't run on VAXes. Furthermore, Linux supports those who break ix86 compatibility with their fancy new chipsets. It neither supports the old standard or enforces the new one.
Nobody is obliged to let history chain them in place; if you think you can do better then POSIX, you have the right to try and it's sad that you'll have to endure abuse to do so. Everyone benefits from the work that came before them; *nix systems have been harvesting features from Windows and Apple for years, and designing systems that don't work on those OSes, with no apology.

Of course it does! I've successfully run in under the simh emulator, enough to port my assembly-language version of linux_logo to it (http://www.deater.net/weave/vmwprod/asm/ll/ll.html).
Sadly it seems like development has died off at some point, and the top hit for a website doesn't have much info.

According to that (if I read it correctly), they have it running on 2.6.18 kernel, at least to the CLI.
