Yuk. Please don't corrupt FreeBSD with Linux. By all means help to make
FreeBSD provide a compatibility mode to run Linux executables, but leave
FreeBSD as FreeBSD. If people want to _develop_ Linux applications, let
the run _Linux_. And for those of us who choose to use _FreeBSD_,
allow us to live in a Linux and Microsoft free zone.
