Hi, 

Quoted from the FreeBSD handbook:

> Linux emulation in FreeBSD has reached a point where it is possible to run a large

Question: as I understand that a shared librairy is a kind of
executable, 
is it possible to "run", under freebsd 2.x.x, shared libs in
linux-elf/a.out 
format (e.g: Motif shared libs) ? Is one ever try it ?
