I understand it only works this far because of John Polstra's work in
getting ELF libs working  for FreeBSD.  They do work now, natively, for
FreeBSD-current, and I think that gdb is very likely to work in those
cases, but not using the zmagic linking that is still the standard (and
seemingly likely to stay that way).
