If it would help, I could add a FreeBSD-3.0-ELF directory on ftp.xfree86.org with a set of XFree86 3.3.2.3 binaries in ELF format. An X3323alib.tgz tarball could be added with the a.out libraries (should it contain static libs as well as shared libs?). Or should the current a.out binaries in the FreeBSD-3.0 directory simply be replaced with ELF ones?
