If you have rev 1.38 or later of ports/emulators/linux_base/Makefile,
you should probably contact the linux_base maintainer,
marcel@FreeBSD.org .

If not, I'd suggest that you update your ports tree and try again.

If you contact Marcel, expect delays.  I don't think he has great
connectivity at the moment.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
