Did you look?

23.1.4. Installing Linux ELF binaries

ELF binaries sometimes require an extra step of ``branding''. If you
attempt to run an unbranded ELF binary, you will get an error message like
the following:

% ./my-linux-elf-binary
ELF binary type not known
Abort
%

To help the FreeBSD kernel distinguish between a FreeBSD ELF binary from a
a Linux one, use the brandelf(1) utility:

% brandelf -t Linux my-linux-elf-binary

The GNU toolchain now places the appropriate branding information into ELF
binaries automatically, so you should be needing to do this step
increasingly rarely in the future.
